I think if you are giving/selling somebody a Mac for them to really use, it should be at least 800MHz and running Tiger. Its 2010 now, and G3 iMacs & early G4 towers cost the same as 25MHz 040 systems to most everyone. 68k systems are fun hobbies, but don't confuse functioning with usefulness.

Agreed. We only give 68k/early PPC Macs as educational tools after a professional educational-needs assessment along with a customized package of software to address those identified needs. We offer 500 MHz iMac G3s, Power Mac G4's and eMac 1.25s for everyday use, all for free. :b&w:

I apologize to the original poster for leading the thread astray, because it's actually a good topic.
