Not Quite OSX, but...
emuelle1 | Feb 18 2006
I figure this is as good a place as any to ask. A friend gave me an old iMac. I keep hearing about how great Macs are, but I can't really afford one right now, so I took the free old one. It's running OS 8.6. Is there anything I can do with it, or any place I can get software (freeware)for it? I can't even install iTunes on this thing. Most Mac users I talk to say I need OSX, but that's not really an option (at least not a purchase option). Is this just a colorful desk ornament? 12 Comments

I managed to get hold of Mac OS 9.2.1, and I updated to 9.2.2. Apple seems to force upgrades a lot harder than MS. MS is just now dropping support for 98 and ME, even though XP has been out for 4 years or more. 9.2.2 runs a lot faster on that old iMac than 8.6. It's just fast enough to be useable. It's still hard to find applications for it though. » POSTED IN:
