In my biased opinion, Macs aren't good for anything, unless you mean the Big ones from McDonald's. ;)
Ace Master Cire:
Haha, very funny! ;D
I only have 3 problems with my Mac, other that that I love it.
1. Internet connection cuts off on me sometimes
2. Can't play any computer games on it, that I'd love to buy
3. I can't find any image editing applications to work for me on my computer, so I can contribute to the site.

Actually most graphic artists prefer Macs because they offer more graphic art software than it's Windows counterpart. And even all the Windows stuff works on a Mac since it's now an Intel architecture. Either way, this isn't gonna be a Mac vs PC bullshit fanboy war, just use the damn machine/OS that fits your needs and be happy. ;)
Ace, I don't remember you doing anything to me, nor do I hold a grudge so it's all good, don't feel bad.
Ask for your poor Mac,honestly the problem sadly is you have a very old architecture when it comes to Macs in general, G3 now days is horrible, especially on the internet, trust me I have a Bondi Blue iMac too, not much it can do except run old software. However there is a version of Photoshop that can run on it and handle the templates here on the site.
I remember your X11 problem, which does come with OS X Tiger, it just has to be installed separately. Also it's a pain the ass that your uncle locked out your system, that would drive me nuts. There is a way around it thou, but I wouldn't want you to get in trouble. If you can, ask him to install it for you and maybe get an image editor on there, but if he doesn't hopefully you can get a new machine in the future :)

I have a G4, zakurowrath, not a G3. :P Also I actually I just found a good image editior not even 5 minutes ago that works well for Mac called Seashore and it doesn't require X11.

is the Ethernet port onboard? Do you have any way to expand with PCI stuff? If so, you may want to invest in an Ethernet card or a wireless card, which ever suits your needs.
