"Anything I need to know?"
As it's a G3 there's a good chance you only have a CD drive, if so you may have been given OSX Tiger on CD, if you only have 4 disks you dont have the developer tools (xtools) which means BlitzMax wont compile. However you can download them from Apple by registering as a developer - expect at least 1 spam mail from Apple every week.
After you install anything on a Mac always repair drive permissions (Applications\Utilities\DiskUtility).
If you get lots of strange crashes and peculiar activity and you have fixed drive permissions you may have a font problem - run Microsoft Word to confirm this as it's hyper sensitive (it reports all fonts as faulty - but at least tells you where the problem is).
On the plus side there's a lot less malware on the Mac, although there are now a few viruses. Unfortunately all the virus checking software came out long before the viruses did (what where they checking for?).
If you edit text on a Mac and you are the kind of typist who often word skips left or right, I pitty you. It can still be done but the modifyer key is Alt (I think) and usually results in a miskey.
Dashboard will interfere with your work every time you press delete unless you move the hotkey to launch it. Once dashboard has been triggered you must wait for it to load and aimless whack the hotkey until it finaly goes again. As you are on a G3, this will be painful.
On the plus side, it doesn't have very much malware. Oh we covered that... ;)
