[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1235306"] Here's a different suggestion: I agree with the others that it's just not worth the effort to make that machine work for what you want to do. BUT ... you clearly don't need anything all that new either, so maybe there's a middle ground of a machine that can run OS X 10.4 and thus Audacity etc. but won't set you back very much. Naturally the best option would be to get some new or nearly so, but I suspect that a G4 iMac or Mac Mini (or Powerbook) would do the job perfectly fine for you, and you could probably find one for pretty cheap, especially if you look locally. Heck, some people just LOAN OUT their older Macs when they get new ones. [/QUOTE]
