SwissCM posted:Having said all that you'd probably be better off just dumping it and getting a cheap, low powered Celeron-based computer. Even the newer Chromebooks (with the Celeron 2955U) are roughly equivelent in power to the G5. CPUs have come a long way in a decade. Roughly?

I'm not calling you out, and I could be wrong - but the 2995U is twice as fast as that benchmark. I just want to understand where you are coming from. Were you posting from a perspective of benchmarks or user experience?

Stick to the web rings you trust.

However if you really just want to web surf because it'd be a shame to throw it away, I vote for throw it away, since your cell phone is more capable and featured than that computer for web browsing. I'd encourage you to make sure it goes to a reputable e-waste service. I'm not sure, but apple may even have a takeback program.
