No, really? :D
If you need pointers, stuff, or software, let me know. I have a ton of stuff that's from that era. (I had a Blue and White PowerMac G3, which is from the same era as G3 iMacs.)
Yeah, there were a few PowerMacs going as well, but I was last in line to choose, and I wouldn't have had space for one of those anyway. I am, however, missing a keyboard -- do you know how much a Mac keyboard goes for, and/or where to get one cheap?
I'm mostly gonna be faffing around with it for a bit first and get used to the way it works, but will let you know if I'm ready to start putting software on it. :)

Actual Apple-branded USB keyboards are horribly expensive - I did have a spare, but my mother took it after she melted(!) her keyboard.
Let me know the specs - I'll get you the most recent Mac OS X it'll take. Unlike Windows, you want to use the newest you can - Mac OS X gets /faster/ with each release.

That's ... impressive. o_O

I've not got it home yet, so I don't know the specs just now, but I'll let you know. :)
