It's not so much that the Mac is a clunker...although as far as I can tell, this one is about six years old. It's a got a 500mhz PowerPC chip and 256 megs of SDRAM. I picked it up from my school's surplus store, where they sell dated equipment. And it worked fine for about a month, and then suddenly, none of the usb ports worked. Since this machine has no PS/2 support, I don't know how to get around in it, and worse yet, I don't know the operating system. I have a legitimate copy of OS too, but I can't access the information in the computer because of course the usb ports are not functioning.
I called Apple's customer support, and they basically told me to take it to a certified Apple repair shop, and there's only four of them in my state, and they're all more than an hour away. It would probably cost more in gas money and repairs than I even paid for the machine, and that's rather disappointing.
