Not Quite OSX, but...
emuelle1 | Feb 18 2006
I figure this is as good a place as any to ask. A friend gave me an old iMac. I keep hearing about how great Macs are, but I can't really afford one right now, so I took the free old one. It's running OS 8.6. Is there anything I can do with it, or any place I can get software (freeware)for it? I can't even install iTunes on this thing. Most Mac users I talk to say I need OSX, but that's not really an option (at least not a purchase option). Is this just a colorful desk ornament? 12 Comments

I have had OS X up to 10.3 installed and running on a Bondi blue iMac. It's slow (!) but it runs. It's been a while since I first installed, but I believe the disk on this older machine had to be partitioned so that OS X installed in the first 2(?)GB. Give it a try! » POSTED IN:
