It's what ever I'm given sadly. At the mo I have on the floor 3 x powermac 7600/200 machines about to be upgraded in both ram and HD size and type, 1 powermac 9600/300 again having the same treatment, 2x G3 beige mini towers at 300mhz each undergoing an intensive upgrade. 1 x powermac G4 blue and a powermac G4 quicksilver. so there's 2 G4's capable of running OS X 10.4 without any issues. the others will have to run OS 9.2 with a decent browser, email client, etc and outspoken if I can acquire it.
As I say, I take on what I can find. whatever's given to me I accept and take on. lew On 26 Nov 2011, at 22:31, Scott Howell wrote: > Do you think you could get machines that run Tiger?
