Sweet angel excellent finding I gave you (+) for that. I'm curious though how did you find that? Besides a google search lol. Do you know any sites that run different Mac OS versions? Cause to be honest I can't do anything on a Mac. Thank you again ComputerNerd22

[Fatphantom]

ComputerNerd-

Try getting a mac emulator-

It's been a while since someone has brought this one up. Compaq is doing a great service to the community by keeping testdrive going. IIRC, I'd posted this a few years ago. Thanks for reminding the community

Cheers,

Do you know any sites that run different Mac OS versions?

Do you mean linuxes for mac? Might want to visit PenguinPPC for some Macintosh/Apple alternatives.

Not to turn this into a linux thread, but I found a nice distro of debian and put it on my PowerBook 540c.

(Yep, another MCSE using a Mac at home! LOL)

I didn't know that the testdrive still exsisted! Thanks for the link!

[mandraketux]

wow, you admit to being an MCSE, i applaud your bravery and balls.

As for the mac...ill be nice =D
