[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1842622, member: 396914"] Bob, thanks for that. I had not realized there was more on that page that was not on my screen. OK, given where the OP is and where he can go, I think the best way to get there is to spring for Snow Leopard (10.6) even if he has to get it through Ebay. He just needs to make sure that what he gets is a full installer, not a machine-specific one. That installation comes on a disk and should put him in touch with the App Store. Then he can directly move up to El Cap at no additional cost. Or he could call Apple and explain what he is trying to do and see if he can purchase Lion or Mountain Lion and get a full download without having to get to the App Store. With that download he can build a bootable installer and go directly to one of them and from there jump to El Cap. Or he could call Apple and explain what he is trying to do and see if they will let him get to El Cap directly, which would be even nicer as he would not have to pay anything. Other than that, I don't see how he can get what he wants done without a thousand hoops... [/QUOTE]
