My Power Mac DA has been sitting in a corner not being used a very long time (10+ years). It was given to me by a coworker that bought a sailboat and couldn't take a lot of things with him.
I cranked it up yesterday and it is slowwww when browsing. I haven't done anything else with it yet. Safari won't render most HTTPS sites and I can't find any browser that'll run on Tiger that has ongoing support. It's running Tiger.
If I decide to actively use it, it'll be with an alternate OS (most likely one of the BSDs). I like fixer projects but this might be something that I might not want to bite on since it's such an old system -- I can probably get it running decently well with a BSD flavor, but once that's done, I can't see this machine doing all that much in my house, as I've much better systems.
I can also stick it back in the corner and wait until I'm like 80 yrs old so I can have something to challenge me in my retirement.
