newbie in need of help
You guys will probably hate me by the time I'm done asking questions, but here goes..
I just got a g4 power mac from a friend. I am thinking the os has been removed because when I turn it on I just get an icon of a folder with the mac smiley face in it and nothing else. I am proficient on a PC but have never so much as touched a mac. I am anxious to start working with it, but have no idea where to start. I am thinking about going to get the osx tiger upgrade and a processor upgrade to start out, but I might need some help just getting it running. Any help would be much appreciated.
