[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1138576, member: 56379"] Two ways: 1. You can get a full retail install version of 10.5 on e-Bay UK. I didn't realize you were in the UK...but the price of 10.5 will most likely be between $100-$200 USD on e-Bay UK. These are "black" discs with a big "X" on them. DO NOT buy the less expensive gray/grey discs...they are model specific...and the chance that you will get a "gray disc" that works with your iMac will be very slim. 2. Here in the US...folks have been successful calling Apple via their "800" contact number. It seems that they are able to get 10.5 disks for their computer for around $15-$16 USD (very inexpensive). These are most likely the "correct" gray discs for the specific model computer in question. You just need to have your computers serial number handy before making the call. I would imagine that this "service" is also available to Mac Users in the UK. Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
