What are the problems you want solved? The whole OS->browser->AOL access? Anything else?
I believe that's my hey. Hey!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Not sure. Check macintouch.com for the issues coming up with the new Intel mac mini. But, yeah, Mac OS is pretty stable and less often the target of viruses.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It sounds like Tiger would solve all or most of your computer problems.

Speaking of Mac Mini's- Is it possible to run a mac mini with an old imac for the monitor, so we think? I am still using a 2nd gen ruby Imac,and it is so pretty....

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
My problem seems to be that my old OS (10.1) can't support a decent browser...this means I can't use things like Turbo Tax, for example. It keeps getting in the way of me using my computer for things like that, which are important to me.
Tom, folks keep telling me that Tiger would kill my wee iMac. I'm not entirely sure that that is true, but I'm ig'nant.

Allyson, I had to add memory to my iMac before it could take Tiger. That and a firmware update is all it needed, though.

I have a 700 MHz processor with 512 MB of RAM. Well, I started out with 512, at least. I'm keeping heavy graphic files and music on my la cie.

That's a faster processor than I have. I think 512 MB is supposed to be what you need for Tiger, though I bumped up to 1 GB since I was upgrading. It definitely sounds like your iMac is beefier and newer than mine, so I can't imagine why Tiger would run on mine and not yours. Unless your data files are leaving not enough memory free or something.

Here are the requirements for Tiger:
It looks like some iMacs are supported. If you have a firewire port then I'd say you can probably use it.
There's always Yellow Dog Linux, but I'm thinking you want less adventure in your computing experience.

All is well that ends in pizza.
One can upgrade to Tiger on many unsupported Macs, you just need a 3rd party utility called XpostFacto.
It works, it just isn't as straightforward as a regular install.
