I've been involved with PCs for many years and I think it's time to have a go with an Apple of some description. Looking at various Web auctions I could buy something for a couple of hundred dollars that is in working condition. I'd like some adviceon the models that are best to look at as a starter system. I don't want to spend a grand on an iMac much nearer $200 dollars would be better, I have spare hard disks (SCSI & EIDE) and RAM to upgrade as necessary. I remember our Mac support people raving over the PowerMac a few years ago but there are various models.... Over to you guys for some advice please.

If you are considering flirting with the MAC OS without spending too much money and Apple Mac will do.
The main object is to become familiar with a different way of doing things. try and find one with the latest OS possible.
Mind you the MAC OS isfar more intuative than a Windows/Unix one and novices usually are up and running on a MAC 10 times faster than they would be on a PC.
There is available a pseudo MAC OS for the PC. It simulates the MAC interface but only on the surface.
