I wouldn't think so... Even if you are picking it up, I wouldn't spend more than 15 for it.

Better question is what do you want to do with it? Judging by your signature, you already have far superior computers. A 350mhz G3 will be fine for basic word processing/email/basic internet (read: good luck with youtube), but not much more. From a more isolated "is it worth it" perspective, it's a perfectly decent machine for the money...provided that the CRT is still in good working order. Also, be aware that the 350mhz iMac was the last one that didn't have Firewire (I think).

No, not this model. It lacks Firewire, external monitor port, HD space and any CD-RW or DVD capability. The DV iMac model just above this maybe, without paying for shipping it.
But since it's Craigslist you wouldn't want to ship it anyway.
