Went round to a mate's place today who I haven't seen for a couple of years, and he gave me a beige G3. I haven't had a good look at it yet, haven't even dusted it off, but… It h…

Absolutely the better of the two, especially if you can pick it up cheap with a parts/broken 1400c for spares. The difference in quality between the c and cs is astonishing.

Hey guys, guess who got the Macintosh! Complete book! I did, bwahahaa!!! } I just read the first 7 or so chapters last evening. It's a rather bizarre book, but rather fascinati…

I'd go for it...as the others have said, its a much better display, you'll notice straight away, and you'll probably end up using the machine more because of it...I love the active…

Good then that gives hope to the eMac in my schools computer lab that is failing.

Anybody here seen one of these in person, or actually own(ed) one? Just curious.
