Quite true. Sure, it doesn't compare to some of the more expensive digital audio production apps out there, but it does what it does quite well. I've also tried Ardour, but haven't done much with that as I don't have anything to mix down into the Mac (which is what's running it). Ardour is...

Umm...YES! ::) I've actually used Audacity to edit the audio for two plays at one of the schools that I work for. Worked for me in a pinch. Of course, I was using it under Ubuntu and not OS 9. However, Audacity is quite capable of editing audio. Some even use it for podcasts.

Make sure that it's nothing to do with this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2390 I've already sent in my iMac G5 twice early this year and so far it's running OK. Mine wasn't even listed in the range of serial numbers, but they replaced the parts at no charge anyways. Apple is aware that this...

Congratulations on an exquisite find, Chris. :)

I was under the impression that OS 8.x and 9.x also included components that were licensed to Apple as part of the operating system, hence the reason for Apple not releasing them for free. I have read that this is the case with System 7.1, so I'm assuming this is also the case for 8.x up to 9.2.2.

That's with any GNU/Linux distribution on PowerPC. And of course, that's assuming that support for older PPC processors is included in the kernel of the installation disc. So far, it seems that they are but I haven't checked recently as I don't have an Old World PPC Mac anymore.

Nice haul.

Nice purchase, Crocodile Dundee! :lol:

Nice system. From what I've heard, the Pentium Dual Core systems aren't too bad for budget systems. I know of a podcaster that uses this for producing his podcasts.

You might do better with a base install of Debian GNU/Linux and then add stuff like xserver-xorg, xfce4, iceweasel, and anything else you think he might need. Also be sure to add the contrib and non-free trees along with the main tree to your apt repositories if you want Flash and Java...

Nice acquisition. Congrats.

Also exclude the 6360, as that was one of the first with the internal design change from the 5xxx/6xxx models.

Wow! Nice acquisitions folks!

Oof...that stunk so bad I could smell it from here. :p

The iBook is known to have an intriguing fragrance like that of a sweaty 300 lb hairy man.

Yeah, most of today's web is a bit much for the older Macs....especially 68K Macs. They can still browse just fine, but anything requiring CSS/Javascript will bring it to a crawl. But for standard HTML, it should be OK....not fast, but still decent.

Yeah, still seeing the parked domain here in Miami, FL. I'm using OpenDNS.com. I just got the idea to try the usual TLDs and see if something came up. :p

Well, consider that not too long ago Dan Budiac purchased an unopened Apple IIc for $2600 on eBay. Of course, many have mixed feelings as to whether he should have opened it, but I digress. Personally, if it still has the original boxes and includes all of that stuff, I don't see why this...

So do I, but it was one way to waste away a few minutes of my life while at work. :p

Title updated and post-edit commentary regarding the change.
