Clamshell for $300 CDN - good deal?

by Madalina / August 13, 2005 8:09 AM PDT

Hello everyone,

I have the opportunity to pick up a G3 12" 300MHz/128MB/6GB/CD-ROM/56k Clamshell, for $300 CDN.

Basically, I need it for word processing, Internet, and other such basics. I'm starting school in September and want to be able to drag it around with me everywhere I go.

Does this sound good to you guys?

I don't want to make a mistake...I can get it tomorrow...but I just want to make sure there are no horrible issues with this model that would get in the way of the basic tasks I need it for.

Thank you very much for any info or suggestions you can offer.

Madalina

PS. I'm so excited about this, I can barely stop smiling.

Help, my PC with Windows 10 won't shut down properly

Since upgrading to Windows 10 my computer won't shut down properly. I use the menu button shutdown and the screen goes blank, but the system does not fully shut down. The only way to get it to shut down is to hold the physical power button down till it shuts down. Any suggestions?
