Good God! I've always wanted something to play around with OSX, but didn't think my mom would ever let me get another full computer just for that. I know it may be a little on the slow side, but I don't think it'll be too bad (they have some older imacs at school that run it)

Can you point me to an auction/store/something that has it?

my guess is that it's hard to find, plus that's just more money to spend. I suppose Linux is always a good OSX alternative... I installed it last night and am using it now

SuSE 9.something. I'm really happy with it. I'm just having a little problem running firefox. It seemed to have installed ok, but I have no idea how to run it

Edit: I tried IMing you to see if you could help me on that one but I got your cell. Don't be surprised if you see a text message that says "hello Mr. JackFrost" on it.

If you want a site that offers Macs for a decent price (with 30 day warrenty), go to macofalltrades.com they have everything down to G3. I contumplated that place, but would have had to wait until after Christmas.
