Technically speaking, it is not possible to give away, let alone sell, a working Mac without including the original or some suitable System/OS, and it is an offence to do so when t…

Just to add my $0.03 (weak US dollar, you know,) my general theory is that the OS that shipped with the computer is always okay; otherwise you need the disc. So a dual 450 MHz G4 …

Technically speaking, they should have transferred the OS license with the computer itself. If they didn't do that then, properly speaking, it is the responsibility of the purchas…

A Mac without an OS, when it is capable of working, is only a trip to the seaside short of being a boat-anchor. The idea that a recipient should put up with having no OS for 'lega…

I think that most people would consider it legal if it is the version of Mac OS X that the machine originally shipped with. Apple doesn't have anything like serials numbers or act…

I think it's too slow for Leopard, it's a dual 450 Mhz PPC...

usually if you posses the disc that was used to install it (either Apple-Shipped or Retail) then it means you own it. Just hop onto eBay and find a 10.4 disc. It will most likely…

Nobody cares [about the legality of it]... (edited for offensiveness)

Hi there, I have a G4, which I just got, running OSX 10.4 and I need to know if I'm running a legal copy. Does Mac issue anything like the Window$ certificate? Is there any kind o…

Good score! I would love to have an iMac g3 or an iBook g3 to play with. All these posts about iBook g3s are killing me. THE CLAMSHELLS ARE SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

i just got a bondi blue G3 imac. It has 192mb of RAM and a 4gb HD. Running OsX 10.2. The side door is missing, but the case is in nice condition. Came with Apple USB keyboard a…

It probably fell on something hard like a slate floor, carpet would have cushioned the fall. Anyway I completely ripped it apart and washed everything, looks new except for those …

They must have dropped that from one HELL of a height, mine has fallen off several things and the handles are still very much in tact. Last time it fell it hit my Dell Dimension L…

great! I have one and love it. A vrey fast mac. I onley have 10.2 disks. Sigh. Enjoy.

Got a B&W G3 (my first non beige Mac) for free locally. Needs 2 new handles (fell off a table), but the rest is in very good condition. G3-300/512K 128MB RAM (I upped it to…

I agree that NUM 3.2.x was excellent (and still is) for what it can do with 030-processor Macs, and 040 Macs running no higher than 7.6.1. Received wisdom at one time was that NUM…

I think because on Windows it installs all this weird stuff and does all this other crap you don't really need. I just simply booted off the ZIP disk and ran Disk Doctor and it was…

I haven't used it on Macs in years, but on PCs at least, it is a very, very, very, very, very bad, bad, bad, bad, bad thing. NUM 3.x used to be good back in the days of System 7...…

Norton is bad? It rescued my 7200 the other day. (I have Norton 6 on a ZIP Disk). It was booting to this Error 41 or 47 or something, and then when I booted off the ZIP Disk the h…

Nice haul, I still need a 9.1 cd for my legit OS collection. I think you can only upgrade to 8.6 from 8.5, 8.1 is a dead end. Click to expand... Yep, you're right. For OS 8.5 u…

Super Awesome!

Fantastic ;D

Excellent, it's always great when you get good things for next to nothing!

Nice haul, I still need a 9.1 cd for my legit OS collection. I think you can only upgrade to 8.6 from 8.5, 8.1 is a dead end.
