If that's a power PC laptop, 10.5 is as far as it will go. Starting
with snow leppard, it only works on Intel processors. Yes, voiceover
has come a long way since then. Actually, I think snow leppard was the
biggest set of improvements. That's when the track pad commander, table
reading, web spots, and probably several other features were introduced
that I'm foregetting at the moment.
Original message:
I got a new power adaptor and a new battery and this puppy is running
like a champ with Leopard. I'm wondering if it is upgradable to Snowy.
I'll have to check that tomorrow on the Apple Support pages. How far
VoiceOver has come since 10.5 is utterly amazing. It puts things into
perspective for sure. For those of you who complain about what's wrong
with Mountain Lion, try working with Leopard and see how much Apple
accessibility has done with the product since then.

Glad it worked. Too bad I jumped in so quick. I noticed after the fact
that Esther had already chimed in with the right options. Oh well,
that's what I get for not paying attention.
Yes it is really cool how some of these older Macs just keep slugging
along. I've got a load of white iMacs at work that are still running
just great. Had to up the RAM to 2GB so that they could handle Adobe
CS6 and run a little quicker but they do the job just fine.
Have a good one.
Later...

Hi Tim,
Yes, that does the trick. It's odd how these things work. I got my
first Mac I ever bought for myself back from the friend I gave it to
when I bought a Mac Book in 2007.

John,
I think it's the F6 key to toggle the NumPad on those units.
Thanks.

Hi guys,
For those of you users who remember Leopard and older Macs, I am not
remembering something from those days. I got an old iBook G4 back from
a friend and the laptop keyboard is stuck so that the numeric keypad
seems to be functioning on the right side of the keyboard. Does anyone
recall how to switch it back to normal input mode?
Thanks
