iMac advice
I bought a buddy of mine an old iMac a year or so back (the big wedge looking one) just so he could surf the net. He's a single guy with zero computer experience and this worked well for him.
Well, the screen went bonkers (stretching, warping, etc.) yesterday and I understand this is common when they are in the throws of death and likely not worth the $ to repair. I have located locally a G4 iMac (the articulating arm on pod deal) for a few hundred bucks and am wondering if this is a good move. He literally only surfs the net and does e-mail, so I could care less about anything else. Any reason not to get this? Price seem fair $350 *****17" monitor with swivel arm coming out from base *****80GB Hard Drive *****2 Firewire ports *****2 USB ports on computer, 2 USB ports on keyboard *****Speakers that add an even cooler appearance to computer *****Superdrive that burns DVD's and CD's *****RAM 768 *****Processor: 1Ghz *****Original manuals and software Running Tiger Thanks.
