[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1477165"] Lsuber: yeah, pretty old machine. The good news is that you should buy a copy of Snow Leopard (10.6.x) which Apple still sells for a mere $20 (!!). It should run very well and is still well-supported. Use the DVD of Snow Leopard to erase and install a new system on your machine, set up your new account and enjoy. I do have to tell you candidly that due to the age of that machine, you shouldn't expect compatibility to go on for too much longer (a couple years, tops) so I'd start saving for that next Mac (and believe me, you're going to enjoy this one!).
