[QUOTE="Trolle, post: 1314047, member: 86801"] An extra question: Does anyone know how to get the OS X install disc out once it is installed? I installed the OS and then the welcome intro came up...the one where you can register etc. I just held down the power button to turn off the machine without entering any information; the new owner should do that. However, the install disc is still in the drive. Maybe do a restart and go to Disc Utility? Edit: I tried the Disc Utility but I can't eject the CD. Makes sense I guess since the Utility is on the CD, I assume. Now the CD is going to be stuck in there until someone runs the installation process. That doesn't sound good for a CD to be in the drive for weeks. [/QUOTE]
