I just acquired an old iMac G3 (Tangerine!) from a guy. He gave me the original install/restore disks + backups (OS 8.something), OS 9 full version, and an OS 10.1 upgrade version + backups of all. It booted up to a login screen when I first turned it on and so I tried an full install of 10.1, including reformatting the hard drive. It seemed to work. Later I read that it's preferable to partition the hard drive, for OSX, but I can't seem to get that to work. Also, I'd like to use the machine for writing. If possible, I'd like something with a few more features than TextEdit, such as page/word count, that would easily transfer over to a PC, but that might be wishful thinking. I'm new to Mac.
If anyone can give me some advice on software and let me know if partitioning is a requirement (and how I'd do it), I would appreciate any help. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
