[QUOTE="hallamlad, post: 694953, member: 61667"] Evening all. Not sure where this should be posted so please forgive me. I have bought an ibook for pittance as the guy I bought it off said he didn't know how to work it and that he couldn't get it to work. I have only ever worked with PC's so thought it would be pretty easy to work out what was going on. I have since found out I don't have a clue!!!! When the ibook boots it gets to a screen saying searching for the Macintosh Management Server - (can't find server on network.) i have 3 buttons pick server, finder and shut down. pick server and finder both require a username and password The is a little toolbar at the bottom of the screen showing Airport signal, battery life, colours, screen res, quick time links, sound etc..... Do you guys know if I can somehow wipe this and install Mac OS to use as a laptop for web browsing? any help gratefully appreciated! Cheers [/QUOTE]
