What model have you got there? Running Panther or Tiger? I suppose it can do pretty much everything you can do in Windows XP, well except gaming.

Its an iMac G3
You could replace the HDD , and then install Panther , that should do it. Oh if possible replace the RAM to 512MB or 256MB and enjoy Tiger ! |

Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar (This was when I fell in love with Apple, Rendezvous anyone?)
Mac OS X 10.3 Panther (Big leap from Jaguar, introduced Fast User Switching and Expose, among other things.) Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger (Current version, introduced Spotlight, Dashboard, among other great features.) Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (On its way baby!) |

By the way your best bet is to run Jaguar on that machine, don't even think about Panther or Tiger, unless you're willing to wait 5 minutes for iTunes to launch.
Just my 2 cents. |

OMG! that looks like a nice foot rest to me... giveit to me
best bet? just run it on Mac OS 9 as it was designed and intended to unless u r willing to wait installing osX is just like installing XP on a pentium-2 machine. it is possible, but slow. damn slow |
