Yes, Tiger would be fine. Not the fastest thing on Earth. But for $40, who cares?

And for the love of god, get more RAM if you buy it.

Nope; it is a slot-loading iMac, but it doesn't have built in Firewire.

also no internal DVD drive, another Tiger requirement. If you can find a copy of Panther on CDs, that should run.

You can send your 10.4 DVD back to Apple and they will send you CDs.

People actually have luck on Craigslist? I tried to buy a ThinkPad via Craigslist last week. Even on brand new ads, I never got a response. Either stuff sells so fast, by the time you see it it's already gone or the ads are just BS. Or maybe I smell or somethin'?

I've always had great luck on Craigslist. My entire bedroom is filled with good looking furniture thanks to that website. Most of it is IKEA (besides my computer desk, bed frame, and TV stand), but who can resist $50 for a 6' x 6' Expedit bookshelf?

Yeah - my roommate and I have a great deal of fun with craigslist. Mostly computer stuff.

Don't try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.

No, the 350MHz slot-loading iMac has only CD-ROM, no FireWire, and no AirPort slot.

They can take the airport adapter card, and then the airport card.

Not the 350 MHz model. It was butchered. The 400 MHz DV and DV SE had FireWire, DVD, VGA out and AirPort slots.
