John, the iMac has 80 gig hard drive, 768 mgs of RAM, 800 MHz speed processor and 100 MHz Bus speed. He is going to use it for email, games and hopefully homework <G>. It's the games that had me thinking to upgrade to 10.5. But i think I will leave it at Tiger. Another question I have is the Administrator Account. I planned to leave me as an Administrator, but also add him as one, too. Does it work well to have 2 Admins? I will probably do the tech support for him.
