I want to pickup a G3/G4 mac (laptop or desktop) for my mother.
Will a machine of such spec handle simple web, mail and excel (running Tiger)

yes, I have my old iMac G4 700MHz running 10.4 at my parents house and it's great for their needs.

I had a blue G3 450 mHz and I couldn't give it away. I threw it in the garbage. I couldn't even donate it to a school.

I've an old dual usb g3 500mhz ibook running 10.4.6. It's sat on the stereo to surf, itunes and that's all it really does. G4 will be fine.

I had an old first gen G3 (the tan case!) and gave it to my mom when I bought my G4. She used that thing for about 3 years before it became unbearable to even check her email. Now she's rockin an Intel iMac while I'm still rockin the G4.
