talking to my teacher today about computers and my passion for them, I
mentioned that I occasionally got along Macs (which are VERY seldom here in
Eastern Europe) and that I love them... he then took me to one room and
showed me that they do have a mac there in my university, that just lies
around, with monitor and all the stuff, but never used...


It's a 8500-120, I didn't turn it on yet and know nothing bout RAM/HDD...

now I'm free to play with that thing :) what could be the highest OS I can
hope for? any chance for 10 or X? speed is not an issue, I just wanna see
how it looks like, as I have almost no software, and so I can't use it for
programming/video capture, though it is in the multimedia rooms (and I'm
actually studying multimedia)...



tks! ANdrei


With an upgrade card, you can run OS 10.3. An upgrade card might be a little hard to find for you, though. Do you have eBay there? Here is a good website for you to do some research on upgrades at:

Go to the Database tab. You can look at CPU upgrades as well as video cards.

The 8500/8600 series is an excellent older machine. Will they let you have it?? :-)
