that's something I'm in talks with at the moment. the concern I have is finding a copy of outspoken 9 or 9.2 to gain access to OS 9 and earlier to handle navigation, etc. I can't rely on anyone to do the job for me, so I do this work alone (service, rebuilds, diagnostics, etc)
can anyone here help? even if it's a dmg file of the entire disk or something like that. sorry lew On 26 Nov 2011, at 18:13, Gigi wrote: > Hi Louis > Maybe I am off base here but Apple has a recycling program for computers. > Have you asked to see if you could get old Macs that way?
