MY NEW MAC...
ravuya:
Mac OS 7.5 and above can read PC floppies. No version of Windows can read Mac floppies.
As for networking, I believe there used to be an adaptor you could plug into your SCSI port (it's the long one on the back of the box) that would let you use Ethernet.
But webbrowsing on anything lower than a 68040 is horribly painful.
ravuya:
There are commercial software packages available that let you mount, read and format macintosh floppies in windows, actually. I think one of them is called MacTools.

This is going to make a few people a bit angry, but why in hell do you want Linux instead? Upgrade your Mac OS, man! Don't settle for the penguin, go for the fruit instead!
voidmain:
Maybe you should try it, and enjoy both. Both have their cool factors for many different reasons. And for the one asking for the Mac Linux distro, It's called "Yellow Dog Linux", only supports PPC though (including iBook). You can get it at http://www.linuxiso.org

HAHA!! :D
Linux is cool. I have it on my HD since it is huge. Tho I use OSX more often than YDL.
Linux is fun because it's a pretty cool growing OS. And It's fun to tinker with. None the less, I can do most of the techy stuff thrugh darwin.
I dunno. I mean, Linux is free. Weather you have a Mac or PC, there really is no reason why NOT to use Linux. Even if it is not your main OS, it's worth having around. Who knows, it may very well be the OS of the future.
