BrandonNew Mac!
haha not realy new. Its a used PowerMac 5500/250 with 32mb ram and 2GB HDD. It has OS 8.1 which is slow and fully of the past owners apps. I'm lookig to leagally install OS 7.x and i think the version on the Apple sit is to old for my system.

ToddRe:New Mac!
So you want to install OS 7 while OS 8.1 is installed? Why?

WTF: Leopard needs a G4 CPU. This is an old school during apples boring days, without Jobs.

ToddRe:New Mac!
I meant in general. Leopard would be slow on a Mac with 32 MB of RAM.

I quite like System 7. It's what we used to use in my old school.

ToddRe:New Mac!
I've always wondered why you couldn't customize Mac OS? Like you can't change the colors or the appearance. I just wondered why they made it like that? Anyone really know? I'm just curious is all.

ToddRe:New Mac!
There was a website that had the ROMs for all Mac OS versions 1 - 8 I believe. I forget where it is but let me look it up in my bookmarks. Ever try vMac?
