Can it run OS 9 natively? The earliest iMac G4 could, I've heard.
I bought a Mac G4 a couple years ago so I could have the most powerful computer that runs Mac OS 9 natively which then enables me to run Symantec's MORE.
MORE is this ancient, super dope outliner editor, which is just so fast and ergonomic at the keyboard. It's go all these features that have never really been replicated since, like cascading styles and presentation mode.

I use Workflowy, which I love, but I kind of want to play with porting MORE's UI to the web and see if it could perform.
