Hi! I'm new here and am considering buying my first Mac but I'd really like to get a used one.
I gravitated towards the old school G3 clamshells but they are harder to find than say the ibook G3's that came after that one which is my second choice.
I ran a search for them on Google and the G3's come as cheap as 100 dollars and go up to about 200 or 250 from reputable sites that refurbish them first. I was just wondering though what OS I should expect to get because a lot of the sites have been vague about that. I was hoping for OS 9 because like I said I want to experience an old school mac.
Also I was wondering if anyone who has owned an ibook G3 or still does can tell me how they've liked having it? Are there any common problems I should be aware of? Thank you in advance for your time and I'm sorry if this post was too long!
