Progress report.

Day one of possession of old iMac (G3 500mhz) complete with crappy mouse. By the living Harry it generates some heat!

I admit to being impressed when I plugged my T5 network cable from my second Windows computer into the Mac and it was immediately connected to the internet. Said old iMac also comes complete with Office for Mac, which has proven relatively seamless in reading all MS Word files except very early ones. A little more work on the mechanics of copying files could prove fruitful. Coming up will be an examination of the transferability of Excel files.

Still struggling with Finder, but for one day's play I'm impressed. Dear Lord, forgive me, for I think I am being tempted to the dark side.
