Congratulations!

You'll need to learn how to connect your mac to your pc in order to swap files which is pretty easy from the mac side.

I dunno how fast your G3 actually is but i suspect you'll also bring some patience with you for opening larger files in blitzmax... ;O)

If the computer works nicely for you then you'll maybe face the problem how to find (mostly free?) software for common tasks (ftp client, sound editing, irc client, ... dunno what you usually do) which also exists on the osx so that you can do some work right there instead of everytime using the pc.

Actually this teached me to only buy software which a) exists on both platforms and b) you also get the licence for both, whenever it's possible.

Overall it's a pleasure to use but the finder is crap and depending on the ram of your machine (if <=512mb) i suggest turning spotlight off.

Malware is less but this will change in the future as the awarness of the mac platform is rising fast. I think it's only a matter of time till there also will be a antivirus software market for osx. Let's hope for the best.
