Was it just for curiosity's sake, or do you have some grand plans in mind? :) Interesting purchase. Was it just for curiosity’s sake, or do you have some grand plans in mind? :)

Sadly it was my last Mac before I switched over to Windows, but I'm strongly considering getting a MacBook if it can indeed dual boot with Windows.

I really like OS 9-- okay it's old, looks outdated, and all that, but the UI makes a lot of sense. Still awaiting first crash... They had a special sale at MacSupport of all 2nd hand stuff today (they are normally closed on Sundays). I paid 49E, the price they want for a 266MHz, but the guy said, 'it might be a 333Mhz, but we'll charge the 266 price.' When I got home and ran Profiler, I saw it :). Btw, the guy was an OSNews reader :D. He knew me, without me knowing him. It has 96MB RAM, and I am running MacOS 9.2.2 on it.

Geeks.com was selling some of them a few weeks ago for $99. Are you going to run an older OSX version on it or MacOS 9? In my experience, Linux can run there, but slowly, plus you will need more than 128 MBs for a modern Linux distro. How much RAM does it have?
