[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1663506, member: 56379"] I'm not 100% sure of your exact goals. But in case you're new to the world of Apple computers…depending on the exact Powerbook G4 model you have…max OS on it is OS 10.5.8. The most current Mac OS version is 10.10 (5 versions newer). OS 10.5.8 or older may give you an idea of what the Mac OS is all about. But because it's a pretty old OS version…it's certainly going to fall short of the abilities of newer OS versions. I have a few Mac/Apple projects like this as well!;) I happen to have a 17" Powerbook G4 that needs a new display (the display is cracked). I got it for $50 about a 1-2 years ago. If & when I come across an inexpensive (or maybe even free) replacement display. I'll "dig it out"…and get it running.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
