Ho ho ho, now I have a Mac.

Bought a 233MHz G3 plus monitor from the school today. Cost: 500 SEK.

…so. Now I have a Mac. Any idea what I should do with it? It runs OS 8.5 at the moment. I force fed it with 256MB of additional memory, so now there’s a total of 320MB.

MindControl is a nice application launcher. Sure beats fumbling around with Finder and Last applications.

Any other utilities I should know about? Still looking for an RSS aggregator. Netnewswire is for OS X. Haven’t managed to install it yet — will be interesting to see what it thinks about 233MHz…

    w00t! :D

    I think 233 MHz will be enough to run Mac OS X – I’ve seen older iBooks run it, so I don’t think it will be a problem.

    Welcome to a larger, more beautiful world. ;)

    Speaking of iBooks and laptops… I have an older PowerBook (300MHz) that I want to install OS X on, but since I have lost the CD module (don’t ask how, it’s a very long story) I’ve tried a multitude of different approaches to install… any ideas?
