Now a question for the Mac users...

<p>My cousin (who is a proffesional photographer) gave me an old Mac of his. It's a G3 w/ OS 9.2. I'm excited to play around with it, especially since it has a full version of Photoshop 7 loaded on it. I know virtually nothing about Mac, so here's my question.</p><p>Do Macs use much smaller hard drives than PC's? It only has a 6 gig drive, which on a PC, would be next to nothing. Is this a decent size for a MAC?</p>

<p>Harddrive size is univeral, regardless of the OS. If you can jump the processor to a G4, and up to OSX, you'll have a blast.</p><p>OSX is great for music and pictures!</p>

<address>OS 9 is what was. OS X is a world of difference. I don't know whats on your hardrive papabear, but if i were you</address><address>i would trash eveything you don't need and have fun with the Photoshop.&nbsp;</address>

How much cash am I looking at HotTub? I'm guessing the reason he had such a small HD is because he only used it for photography, and probably stored his finished work on an external drive. I have a lot of fun with Elements 3 on my PC, but the idea of getting into Photoshop 7 is intriguing.

As GVAC was once overheard saying....&quot;Mac's are for sissygirls&quot;!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it doesn't have a 6 gig HD because it's a mac, it had a 6 gig HD because it's 10 years old!
It has to be one of the old G3 iMacs (the one's jeff goldblum was pushing for a while there).

OS9, not much software out for that anymore. kind of like working off of Windows 98

<p>You'll have a blast poking around on the Mac, but that is an ancient computer.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>OS 9 is pretty much like Latin; a dead language. </p><p>And my iMac has a 160 gig HD. &nbsp;</p><p>My old one had a 6 and that was average back then. &nbsp;</p>
