this is why I said I would help you somehow. there's a few ideas.
first off do you have any methods of advertising? say stuff like any
american free ads sites or anything like that or any websites that
you could find that could be of use? secondly do some research and
find any old mac sales sites that specialise in selling pre intel
machines such as G3 towers, G3 powerbooks and iBooks, G4 series
powermacs, iMacs and powerbooks etc. these are some of the ways to go.
contact them explaining why you need a mac etc. if you struggle,
contact me via email with details and in your own words why you are
in need of an older mac. I can then through some people spread the
word and possibly find you a mac G3 or G4 thats tiger compliant.
your iMac 233 can be upgraded to run a G4 400 chipset and take on
further ram. but that would cost about $200 or so. a G3 or G4 powermac
blue and white would cost about that used but if you can convince
someone to help you in your time of need then hopefully it will bear
fruit for you.

OK, and I am sorry about saying this, but what sollution do I have
with os9.22. I know, I agree with you, man, using a Tiger system
would be a lot better, but, again, I am really really bad off
financially. I cannot afford to get a system like this. I need to
work with what I have. I understand and I whole heartedly agree
it's not gonna really be very good, but, at least it would work.
It's better than nothing at all. Don't you agree? It's not that I
don't wish to take hyour suggestion, believe me i do, but when you
never would really have enough to get one, what're you gonna do. And
at literally 10 20 if I am lucky dollars at the end of the month,
I'd be here till the day I died trying to buy the thing.

Subject: Re: Outspoken
ideally what you need friend is the following
G3 blue and white tower with 400mhz processor. this is an
upgradeable mac and can take most components including a CPU
upgrade. or even better a G4 450. these will take tiger but its
recommended to get some spare sticks of memory to upgrade it. also
a larger hard drive. say 80gb disk.
that way tiger will work happily and run voiceover.
sadly outspoken is not easily available and for you to run OS 9.2.2
effectively then you need the very last version of outspoken which
is 9.2 so that you dont get a crash or anything.
best thing is a tiger based system that way you can get things
done much better. use the net, do what you need to etc.

OK guys. At this time, though I'd prefer some way to get Tiger
on this old beat up piece a junk system everyone clames I am
getting, it's just not apparently happenin, so, I'd like to make
a plea and a request: If anyone has it, remember I do have
dinwos based machines too. I also do have Nero on them. It it
possible that someone could either make me an iso of an Outspoken
9 *demo* CD, notice it's not like I'm asking for the real whole
product, I am only asking for the demo. All web sites from
Google are turning up useless. According to what I read, I need
no sighted help and need no prior speech to install it. So, if
someone could please helop me out, you will make my morning as
then I'd have something to play with today. It's not voice over,
but I pretty well give up on this. One person and I conversed
last night. I will not reveal his or her name, nor will I even
say if they are on this list or not. I'll only say that
according to them, if I can find certain hardware parts, like a
Celeron processor, etc... Anyway, Remember folks: Money is an
issue. I have absolutely no money. After my bills and rent and
such, I literally am lucky to have $10 not 100, but 10 if even
that left. I'm sorry upgrading this thing is simply not
possible. I have what I have and if it isn't good enough, then
well... it's either this, or nothing. I know it may be a whole
CD like 3 or 400MB, but either send space or whatever, if you
could upload it, I can even give you an ftp site you can put it
on if needed. I know it's big, but it would help me
tremendously, again, it's not v o, nor is it the full Outspoken,
but, at least it would get me by until I could find something else.
Thanks.
Chris.
