Where to Buy PowerPC Mac's

I've just realised I've made this whole site, and not once mentioned how to get a PowerPC Mac. PRETTY SILLY OF ME, but here you go in no particular order.

In all cases make sure you know what the person is selling you because the seller usually doesn't know what it really is that they are selling, try to get models numbers and then find the exact model on www.EveryMac.com  

to make sure that you are getting what you're paying for. 

Ebay

Ebay is your best option if your looking for a top of the line PPC Mac since there are so many for sell and can be shipped everywhere it's really up to you. 

Craigslist  > For Sale > Computers 

This option is usually a lot cheaper since you pick up the computer locally, but you get a vary narrow selection, if any at all of what type of PPC Mac you can get.

Those are your best bets for actually finding, and buying a PowerPC Mac as far as specs go the more "Mhz" the better, try to get one with at least 1gb of ram. And you might have to reinstall the os / install a updated version so here's links to which ever one you would prefer all though I don't recommend going any lower than tiger, unless your on a 500mhz or less G3

PowerPC making a comeback? Html5

SO the thing done most on computers now is Web Browsing. 

And with PowerPC this can be somewhat hard.

PowerPC can't handle Flash and Heavy Java very well, and until now flash has been on almost every website, in things such as ads, games, videos, etc.

Here's were things get good for PowerPC though ^_^

Flash is on its way out and Html5 is on its way in! What's Html5? All webpages are coded in html which is a very simple coding langauge. With Html being so basic it used to not be able to accomplish the things that flash could. BUT now Html5 can do basicly everything flash can do, using much less resources and is better in about every way.

SO why is this good for PowerPC? WELP Flash is coded very poorly for PowerPC and runs like poop, and many flash objects being replaced with Html5 things will run better on PowerPC with out any tweaking. 

Not to say this will make your PowerPC Mac thebomb.com  BUT it will make some things that might have previously not work, Work.
