Todd | Re:New Mac!Not a Leopard fan? | 2008-09-09 | 7:12 AM |
Brandon | Re:New Mac!WTF: Leopard needs a G4 CPU. This is an old school during apples boring days, without Jobs. | 2008-09-09 | 1:58 PM |
Todd | Re:New Mac!I meant in general. Leopard would be slow on a Mac with 32 MB of RAM. | 2008-09-09 | 2:32 PM |
ksr | Re:New Mac!I quite like System 7. It's what we used to use in my old school. | 2008-09-09 | 3:02 PM |
Todd | Re: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. | 2008-09-09 | 4:35 PM |
Brandon | Re:New Mac!Well it looks fine to be and in 8 you have some config. So does anyone know were to get 7? | 2008-09-09 | 5:53 PM |
jasonwoodland | Re:New Mac!I got it all on Floppy Disk

Todd | Re: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.
