Internet Browsing and Gaming on a Graphite iMac G3

@javier29m90 You actually can. This video is pretty old. This iMac is no longer part of my desk.

Octavio, I recently began doing a bit of retro computing with a similar G3... can you post a list of websites friendly to these sorts of computers? By that I mean websites that do not place a huge demand on them. Websites I can watch video at etc. Also you pointed out iTunes on the dock, are you able to shop a the iTunes store? If not... how does your iTunes library look? Are you still getting use out of your iTunes ??

@jspen2 To answer your questions, these G3s are moderately obsolete now. But they are still good as MP3 jukeboxes, to play old school games, and even surf the web (sort of. the only good thing is to check e-mails). And no, you can't watch videos on these, because they WILL lag. Anything Flash-related will lag, like the Flash game I demonstrated on this video. However, these old G3 Macs are still good for some things, like word processing, spreadsheets, photos, music, but not the iTunes store.
