    Hello Nightfox!

    my schools were interesting. Sometimes I'm tempted to get an old beige
    Mac (even an early Mac, Mac Plus/Classic, or Color Mac Classic & such),
    or perhaps a transparent G3 or G4 Mac tower, but then I'm not sure what
    I'd actually use it for.

    I have a G3 Indigo. The plan was to relegate it as a limited access wi-fi internet device for customer use at my shop. Or.. suspend it from the ceiling with a modest tilt and have it play various video clips or slide shows. But the ethernet port is broken. The last time I checked for a compatible wi-fi dongle 10 years ago, it was over $80.
