Hey guys! It's been a while I know, but I promise to visit more often ;D
I've just bought the missus her 1st Mac (Lucky girl I know). She wanted an iBook and I managed to pick up a G4 from ebay, which has arrived today, which is a start. It's for her birthday and was delivered to my mothers house for reasons of secrecy and she reports that on startup she receives "The apple screen" with a "Spinning thing" (None too technical, my mother) and then the spinning stops and it never starts up.
Now, it was described as having Leopard installed but I was wondering if this sounds like a blank Mac, as in I need to install the OS myself or a dead Mac, as in I need to cry and send an email ALL IN CAPS to the seller.
I won't get to try anything out for another 10 days when I have it but if anyone could waylay my fears until then I'd be grateful.
Thanks in advance!
