Is it worth it?

[Solo]

So the other day I dug up and old imac g4. I case you don't know what it is:



I wanna hook it up to the internet through wi-fi but it doesn't have a card built in.

I found an airport card on amazon for $32.
Amazon.com: Apple Airport Networking Network Card (AIRPORTCARD): Electronics

Is it worth restoring?

[RavalloJr]

[MC²]

[InCognito]

256 MB RAM, no.

[Solo]

Yes lol........

Yeah im kinda a poor nigga so 32 is like 1/2 of the money I have in my wallet.

256 MB RAM, no.

What can you possibly do with that computer, except look at the sexy design.

Get lubuntu and you'll have a decent browsing PC. Can't be used for much more though

I'll look into that. I've never used a mac in my life so I have no idea what to do with this...

how much would a decent amount of ram and space cost?

It's a Linux distro made to be as minimal as possible. Since it's based on Ubuntu you shouldn't have that many issues getting it to run on a powerpc, just follow some old tuts and stuff

Damn. I live off a big bag of Dyno Bites Chocolate cereal and a 32?ish pack of ramen for about $14. All day baby.

Eating that much instant ramen is bad, too much sodium. needs veggies! I live mostly on hotpockets, and mcdonalds sweet tea & sometimes some bawls, and perogies when i find them

@ dont bother upgrading that POS buddeh its not worth it for the specs apple I believe actually soldered their ram onto the motherboard (if its how old i think it is) or somethin like that
