Where to find older copies of mac os 8 & 9   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #509 of 1186 |
Hi folks, i am not a newbies to pc's or mac's,but i am considering
buying a g3 firewire powerbook and i don't have the desire to go to
mac os x yet,and i am looking on ebay for both of these operating
systems,i am just not sure what search words to use and what
categories to look underneath for mac os 8 & 9 because i want to
experiment with both to see what works best. I hope you all can give
me some insight.

Sincerely,
Peter Bellantoni
