Hi,
I held onto my OS 10.2.9 way too long because I wanted to use my Photoshop program that was accessed by Classic 9.2. Now, however, I have a new printer that won't install without OS 3.9 or later so I'm ready to give it up. I have a 10.4 Tiger installation disk from my husband's Apple, but my G4 won't even recognize it on the desktop.
Does this mean I have to locate the OS systems in-between to work up to it? Can I do a "clean install" (not sure what it is) with the Tiger disk I have? Do I just bite the bullet and buy a new 21.5 iMac with Snow Leopard?
Any help would be very much appreciated! Though I sound clueless, we've had Macs since 1982.
Thanks,
Judi
