I picked up an iMac G4 15” for a song… Err, well for $25, so close enough, I had one years ago that I traded away, but ended up forgetting to give the new owner the discs that go with it, poor new owner… boo hoo… lucky for me, as this G4 I got had a broken linux install that the owner didn’t know the root password to, so, luckily, I had my fully OS X recovery set, and made it a happy mac again.. well, to a point, it’s running Mac OS X 10.1.2…. I’d like to at least get it up to 10.5.8, the last one capable of running the Classic OS apps, as well as being modern enough to run most current type programs. Joe.

That's "vintage"? http://www.neurotica.com/misc/leopard.dmg It's a ~6.3GB download. Please let me know when you have the file so I can remove it from the server. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

I think you're thinking of 10.4; Classic was removed in 10.5. You should also consider installing OS 9 natively as well. - Dave

Joseph, I've got plenty of spare leopard install discs. I'll send one with the Mac 128k disks. I'll be off work late this afternoon and will touch base with you about both then. Tony Sent from my iPhone
