Hey, thanks for the quick replies everyone,

Yeah, I was afraid I'd get "meh" responses. I've used my iMac G3 to browse the Web before, and as you can probably guess, it left a lot to be desired.

I was hoping a G4 would be a high enough step up that I'd be able to do internet things with reasonable ease...but I suppose not. :/ I'll remember what Beachycove said about dual G5 towers and such, and I'll definitely look into that. But anyway, thanks for your G4 responses, that's exactly what I wanted to know.

So I'll either get a G5, or else get one of those new "mini laptops" that cost like a couple hundred bucks...as you may have guessed, I don't need anything particularly high-end. Just something that works.

Thanks everyone.
