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

John,
I think that Leopard is the best you'll do without some trickery. SL claims to
require an Intel processor with minimum 1 GB RAM. I've circumvented these
sorts of restrictions occasionally using image deployment methods but the
machine has usually ran so slow that it was painful to use,
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 perspect
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 a
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.

Hi Esther,
Once again, you did it. I knew there was a function key combo, but I
couldn't remember it. It was the FN key with F6 as I have the function keys
reversed.
Thanks again

Hi John,
There's a NumLock F6 key on the old PowerPC laptops and the earliest
generation MacBook laptop models. Try pressing F6 or Fn+F6 --
depending on whether your F-keys are set to software or hardware
functions. The keyboard layout for these laptops had the volume keys
on F3, F4, and F5 for m
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 r
