Early days yet - still gathering info.
A friend will be getting rid of her old Mac G4 tower. What I haven't confirmed yet is how much ram, how big a hard drive and what version of operating system it currently has. But it will be FREE and come with a display and mouse (but no keyboard.)
One complication is that she no longer has the OS on a disc so it will be difficult to get her stuff off safely and leave an operating OS on the machine. I am curious if anyone in the group has a disc with some flavour of OS 10 on it that you could lend for this process? I believe the machine can support up to 10.5.8
And before she goes to too much effort down this path, does anyone have a use for this machine when cleaned off? The case alone would make some wonderful sculpture.
