A few weeks ago, I did something crazy and shelled out 50 Euros for a G3 iMac. It was a 333Mhz G3 iMac with 96MB of RAM. It came with a copy of MacOS 9-- and that was what I bought it for. I wanted to experience first hand what OS9 was like. I did not expect I'd use the machine much. However, I was in for a rather pleasant surprise.

I just installed a beige G3 running mac OS 9.2 at grandma's yesterday and it works just fine! It never crashed on me (except when I tried to start a game which is known to work only on M68k macs) and is still a fine machine... very usable.
