[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1234713, member: 56379"] No borrowing! You need to have you own OS install DVD. The computer you speak of with a 1.6 cpu (probably 1.67ghz) is a Powerbook G4 not a MacBook. Thus it is NOT capable of using the $29 dollar OS 10.6 OS install disk. The "highest" OS that can be installed on a Powerbook G4 with a 1.67ghz cpu is OS 10.5 (10.5.8) Also (FYI) MacBook Air computers have a special external DVD drive available for purchase. - Nick [/QUOTE]
