Do you think it is worth it?

Hello! I just got my first Mac (yay!) so I was looking online for cheap accessories for it, and I found someone who was selling a really old computer for $15. But it just happens to have Windows XP Professional installed on its 3GB hard drive. (My other computer has XP on it so I'm really familiar with how to use it) So I was wondering if you think it is worth it to buy this computer ($15) JUST so that I can put the operating system (bual-boot) on my Mac?

Now I know all you Apple fans probably want to slap me for wanting to put Windows on my Mac. But I would only be doing it to be able to have some games and programs that are currently PC-only with me while I'm traveling (it's a MacBook).

Thanks!

    You can;'t put XP on your Mac using that other computer. You have to have the installation disks with the proper codes to be able to install it.
