Re: Mac question



 

First step is to get it turned on... then hit the apple in the top left corner and choose the first thing on the list "About This Mac" . . .



You will see a screen like this that will tell you everything you need to know about what you've got going on.



If it has never been updated, then it would have the original version of OSX 10.0 or "Cheetah" . . . you could go to the trouble of upgrading up to 10.3 "panther" or even 10.4 "tiger"... which would be the last upgrade available for non-intel based machines.


 Depending on what you want the machine to do, it could either be very useful to you, or a complete paper-weight. If it is fully functioning and you are not going to use it, perhaps donate it... I donated my original G4 tower to a older gentleman who just needed a way to do some basic internet and email stuff to keep in touch with his extended family.... he could not have been happier with the machine, although by my standards, it was obviously outdated.


 Have fun... Old Apples are fun!
