Marta, i share your feelings, i am still running an iBook with 10.5 and an older mac mini, also with 10.5, only the mini can upgrade, but just to 10.6 i believe. i am old school, if it ain't broke, i don't fix it.
with that said, please contact me if you have issues with your older setup, i may be of some assistance working things out. sounds like what you described with the popups on sites, a result of either java-scripting, or flash embedded on the site. both should be controllable by turning those off. let me know which browser you use, and which OS X version is running.
