How many here are still running this Mac? What upgrades have you installed to run the current or recent versions of OSX (Tiger/Panther)? Thanks!

I had one until mid last year, maxed out to a G4/650, 1GB ram, Radeon 9200, 8 USB 2.0 ports, FirmTek SATA card w/ 2x Raptors. It was running Tiger & my design apps just fine when I sold it
Personally I find it hilarious that you have the hots for my gramma. Especially seeins how she is 3x your age, and makes your Brittney-Spears-wannabe 30-something wife look like a rag doll who went thru WWIII with a burning stick of dynamite up her a** :)

I have two. One early G3/300 that is a bit unstable and then I found a second G3/350 with 1 GB RAM sitting in the rain in an open dumpster. That one runs like clockwork runing distributed computing 24/7.

Both have tiger and no hardware upgrades

I've got a couple that were given to me for free. I put a G4 500 in one, and the other is stock. Both running 10.3 and solid as rocks, not that they get much serious use. One is mostly sitting idle and does the occasional spreadsheet/email, and the other is the break-room employee surfing machine to keep 'em off the Dells.

Have a BW G3 350 running as a server. It has ~600MB ram and a big fat hard drive. Otherwise it's stock.
