[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1457022, member: 56379"] Here is what I would do if I was in your situation (two options). Firstly...the newest OS your MacBook can run is OS 10.7 (assuming your have at least 2 gig of ram). And the two options assume you have the proper OS versions to install. The two options: 1. Erase your HD...and partition it for 2 partitions. Partition #1 install OS 10.7 (once you've downloaded & purchased it). Partition #2 install Leopard (OS 10.5). Why 10.5? Because your PowerPC LEGO application will run natively (it doesn't run natively via 10.6...Snow Leopard). 2. Erase your HD...and partition it for 2 partitions. Partition #1 install OS 10.7 (once you've downloaded & purchased it). Partition #2 install Snow Leopard (OS 10.6)...make sure you also do the optional install of "Rosetta" so your PowerPC app. will run. - Nick p.s. Option #2 was mentioned if you do not have an OS 10.5 install disk. p.p.s. If you buy a new Mac-Mini...then you will not be able to run your PowerPC LEGO app....since there is no way to run PowerPC apps. on new Macintosh models. If you get a new Mac-Mini...then you will have to use the Windows version of your LEGO app. and install Windows on your new Mac-Mini via Parallels or VMWare fusion...or via Bootcamp. [/QUOTE]
