My brother wants to switch to Mac and wants to try OS X. Problem is that he
has "modest" means with which to do so.
He's looking for an old G3 to be able to accomplish this. Free would be good,
cheap may (or may not) be do-able for him.
Any generous souls have an unused G3 around?
Thanks (for him),

hey, I need a Paul Reed Smith guitar, a Soldano SLO and a POD XT Pro
if anyone is in a generous mood :)
seriously, though, if he's looking at cheap, I'd suggest eBay or
Goodwill. I'm noticing a lot of G3 All-In-Ones (AKA Chia Mac) on eBay
recently....

Even if I had a used G3 to give you for free, I suspect the hassle of
packing and sending it to you would simply be too much... it would probably
cost me on the order of $50 for postage.
I would suggest looking on eBay, or see if you have local forsale newsgroups
where people buy/sell/give away computer stuff (i.e. tor.forsale.computing)
Hope you find what you need..

Some G3 AIO's won't run OSX, I know I've got one of those. I use it
for my local backup of my G4 over the network, to a jaz drive hooked to
it. (I'm too cheap to buy a scsi card for the G4 <G>)

Why not just look for something like this?

try using XPostFacto on the Chia Mac, Ryan designed it so that even
those G3s that can't run OS X normally should boot with that (like those
original G3 Powerbooks...)
still, seriously cool what you did.

Thanks.
And thanks for reminding me about XPostFacto, I had completely forgot
that it existed.
I got about a half dozen of these things and 3 Apple Lasers from a
school that insisted on moving from Apple to PC. They tried to sell
them, but no one knew enough about them, so they sat unsold. I gave
them $100 for the lot.
I checked them all out and gave all but one of the cpu's and one of the
laser's to some kids that I knew couldn't afford them. I put modems in
all those I gave away so they could have internet access. Then I got
them free internet access from one of the local providers.
The only thing, other than loading OSX on them, that I couldn't get to
work is shared printing. I knew that the laser wouldn't work shared
with OSX because there is no driver for that old laser, but I had hoped
my USB HP895 ink squirter would be able to be shared. Never could get
it to work though.

Or a spare Lamborghini Countach or perhaps a Miura S? I'll even accept
an old dusty Ferrari Berlinetta Lusso, or maybe a Maserati Sebring, or a
Tipo 61 "Birdcage" or.........

If you are still in contact with your grantees, you may be able to
get them to upgrade to OSX (10.2) with Ex Post Facto (already
mentioned). 10.2 buys you USB printer-sharing, at least among
Macs.
Also, that has to be a very, very old laser printer if OSX can't drive
it *at all*. Even if it is something as old as an LS 4/600, you can
buy a ethertalk/localtalk (e.g. "Asantetalk") bridge along with a
router (or a hub) and share the laser-printer on a network. If you
don't buy the ethertalk/localtalk bridge, you will not be able to
use *some* laser printers with OSX, even when directly connected.
I know that buying the bridge would require an additional outlay of
funds on the part of someone, but I am always of the opinion that
spending a little extra to have something actually work beats having
an additional paper-weight around.

I see them now and then, but they use them for getting on the internet
and playing some games. None of them decided to use them for what I
had intended, which was schoolwork. But I had no strings attached in
the gift, so its their loss.
I guess it is part of what makes many poor stay that way, huh?

It is an Apple Personal LaserWriter and it IS very old! It plugs in
directly to the AIO that has no addon cards of any sort. I have been
told that there are NO drivers for it in OSX at all.

Well, the G3 isn't exactly a paperweight, but it sure would be a heavy
one if it was. You could pop a hernia carrying this thing around! <G>
I don't use it often, as I said its mostly used for making a backup of
my G4 via network to the attached SCSI Jaz drive.
But then, I guess I could hook that Jaz drive up to my PM6500! Its
even older! I got it and a Performa at a yard sale for $5 total! Both
work, but the Performa is still trying to boot up from when I turned it
on a month ago! <G>
I use them all (well not the Performa (75Mhz)) for one thing or another
now and then. Given the memory footprint of the AIO, I don't think I
would put OSX on it anyway and the PM6500 won't run it at all.
But thanks for the pointers and suggestions, maybe someone else has
gained some knowledge they can use.

No problem.
Here's where to find it, by the way - plus you'll also get to see a
screenshot of the upcoming version 3 release, which will do some very
interesting things like Firewire booting and support for OS X 10.3
Panther:
http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/
the program's basically free, but for support OWC has a $10 fee to
get into that area - money well worth it, though. I've been running
Jaguar on my UMAX J700 for about a year now, and it's incredible how
stable it is....

No PostScript Level 2, therefore no support in OS X. IIRC, even
GIMP-Print (which has CUPS drivers for LOTS of printers) can't run them,
the problem is more fundamental. It's irrelevant in most cases, as far
better printers are available free/rediculously cheaply if you hunt
around. Heck, I had enough trouble trying to GIVE away LW II's and HP LJ
IIP's (both of which OS X will drive, IIRC), never mind selling them.

There are some people in such a (wonderful) situation as to have these
sitting around, I'm sure. And if they can give away such items without
causing the slightest dent in their portfolio, why not?
But I think the chances of someone having an old $100 G3 sitting around
gathering dust is more likely...

My point is that as long as one is begging for something free, one might
as well beg "big time." Most of us have to work for what we have and
part with coin-of-the-realm to get it. Since all the cars I mentioned
are worth -way north- of US$100K in any condition, I'd say the chances
of even a very rich man giving one away are somewhere between zero and
none at all. In fact, they are almost the same as someone giving away a
G3.

I think the error of the original poster is that he asked for a specific
computer. Someone asking for an old computer that might otherwise
be thrown out seems reasonable. They are just looking for something that has
no value to someone else. But once someone starts begging for something
specific, then they've lost the bit about how "beggars can't be choosers".
There are plenty of computers that could be available free. I find them in
the garbage from time to time. I've been given a few. I bought 6100 PowerMac
last year at a garage sale, and its $10 price was practically giveaway (and
since it had 64megs of RAM inside, it was a steal). I see them at church
and school rummage sales, and community group garage sales. Yes, the end
user has to pay for them, but someone has donated them to the group
in the first place. I got a Powerbook 1400C two weeks ago for forty dollars,
at an auction done by a Meals on Wheels program.
With that much available, there are plenty of computers for free or
nominal amounts, and plenty of them are acceptable for the things
the average person might want to use them for.
When someone asks for something specific, for free, they just come
across as cheap. They aren't looking for a solution, they are looking
for something specific without paying any money.

harsh - you've no idea how much a $100 is to him... though I do agree its
pretty audacious asking for something that recent and that specific. Perhaps
something along the lines of "Hi - I haven't really got much money but my
bro really wud like to get started on a mac? Does anyone out there have
something gathering dust they'd like to sell/get rid of? Many thanks" Then
he'd have been flooded with replies offering him every mac under the sun
(perhaps even a G3) and the beggar could indeed have been a chooser.

Oh and I've just noticed who I'm replying to here so no doubt I will either
get slated by said person, or slated by everyone else for replying to him.
In any case said person will not give a toss what I think...
matt
ps if a hundred dollars is that little to you perhaps you'd like to pay for
a G3 for him?!
