I don't own a copy of OS 9.x so cannot install/set up Classic on this Mac.

This beige was the first Mac I was ever given. It was rescued from the 
local council tip for £5!

It works quite nicely for me as I managed to scrounge a G3/400 CPU and 
512mb ram for it and also
a ATi Radeon 7000 card :)

Ideally I'd like a more recent model Mac to be able ot comfortable use 
OS X 10.4. But that is a future plan when money permits really. A iBook 
or PowerBook will probably come before a replacement deskop Mac to 
replace the old Celeron 550 laptop I have presently.

I use iTerm for CLI stuff. Works nicely I find.
