short diary as there's not much to it...My last windows box died on me and I was given an old iMac G4 1 gig withan 80 gig hard drive and almost a gig of ram....
Now I'd literally never touched a Mac before so this has been an interesting and frustrating few weeks....but I have a real problem that hopefully some kind kog can help me with...
I'm running the last possible update to version 10.3 or Panther which is 10.3.9
The problem is Panther just does not work well at all with the modern web, it just took almost 10 minutes to open a page on Slate...There is a fairly easy and legal solution.
I need to borrow a copy of the version 10.4 or Tiger install disc.
As I understand from my reading, once you own the disc, Apple doesn't care how many machines you update with it unlike microsoft so there shouldn't be any legal issues and I've exhausted my local resources that are Mac peeps so I thought I'd do a little begging here...
The disc is available for purchase but I flat can't afford it...Long story why but anyway, if anyone out there is like me and has every disc they ever bought, could I please borrow the Tiger disc?
I'll ship it back as soon as done and even pay for shipping to me....
My last box was a gift from another wonderful kog and it worked for quite a while but now I'm just stuck...
Plus this is a neat looking machine, it's the lampshade looking iMac with the flat screen on the chrome swingarm...very avante garde in its day and still a neat looking box with enough speed for me if I can only get the OS upgraded....
From my research Tiger is the newest OS this machine will handle and should be updateable to where it actually functions well with the modern script filled web...
So if there's anyone out there in Kosland who could help with this, I'd be eternally grateful....
It's just so tiresome to wait a couple minutes for every page here to load, you would save my critters virgin ears from the regular cussing that has been going on...heh...
Or if a Mac guru knows of another answer I'm all ears but the only solution I can find is a Tiger install disc....
