The first thing I'm looking for was some general opinions on OS/X, Jaguar, availability of Jaguar, stability of OS, stability of productivity applications, etc.
The second thing I'm looking for is pointers to good deals on a lower end G4's, either new/refurb/or very slightly used as well as deals on software.
The last thing I was looking for was a resource I could use as I potentially re-imerse myself into Macdom. It's been a few years. Like Mac SE days.

As for apps, everything is being converted. They have to be, OS9 will go away pretty soon. All the major apps are there from Adobe, even Microsoft (yak).
As for refurb G4's, I dunno. If you have a Microcenter near you, go get a return. People always bring stuff back that is perfectly good. Otherwise check Apple's website or www.smalldog.com (click on Mac->PowerMac). They usually have lots of them.
As for forums, I don't know. macintouch.com is ok, but Christ, everyone only complains over there. Maybe someone else knows better.

I'd go to dealmac.com I look there before I buy ANY computer/electronic related stuff.
A very lively forum there - you'll find what you need.
It is a pretty hardcore bunch overthere so you'll see strong opinions and passion. A bit like s2ki.com

Of course, if you get a refurbished machine I think you get whatever came with it. You'll have to check.
Macs RULE!
