I use my beige G3 PowerMac daily for both leisure and my own business
(DTP, databases, simple websites, Mac tech support, etc.) - by the way,
it's connected to the internet via a dial-up modem too.   :-)

It works, does (almost) everything I need it to, so why change what
aint broken? Doing that is expensive and a waste of money.

There are no real "security holes", unless you're stupid enough to
download pirate software or visit porn websites.
