Default Anyone use an Apple computer?

Was given a "Power mac G4" computer,complete with monitor,keyboard and mouse,it just needs a hard drive.The access panel on the side flips down allowing full access to inside.I have extra ram (256mb)from another g4.Is this model even worth fixing?The back has written on it,64mb sdram,10gb hard drive,dvd,56k modem,400mhz.

we have Imacs at school, G4's and G5's. The G5's are way superior, the G4s are pieces of junk, the ones at school anyways. Their always breaking down and the school has to list 2 full time compter technicians to keep them running. the 10 gb hard drive is extremly small and your not goin to get much on there, you can always buy extra harddrives though. I dont like them but im sure there's other people that do.

I wonder if I can use my spare 60 gig harddrive in it,or does it have to be designed for a Mac?Where do I find software for Mac?

The hard drive should work as long as it is an IDE drive (Apple did get rid of their SCSI devices by the G4 right? )
