Of course, switching OSes is much more complicated than change the rotational speed of an electric motor (or switch a gear). :-) > Couldn't there be something like that on my Mac , or attached to my Mac, > for choosing between OS 9, OS X, Intel and whatever may be next to come? But, as matter of fact, there is: holding Option (Alt) key during boot, makes the same thing: it allows you to choose your favourite OS. Of course, you have to install whatever OS you like *before* using it! ;-D On my iMac, I had OSX 10.6, OSX 10.9, Windows 7 and OS9 (via Classic) at my fingertips; I could even install Linux if I fancied that. All on the same internal drive. I don't know many computers able to do that :-) -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
