Unfortunately I haven't used this group for some time, but have still been getting emails from it.
In 2012 I bought a Blueberry iMac G3 (1999) and not long after that I got a Mac Pro G4 "Quicksilver" Mac free of charge from Freecycle. My motive for getting both of these Macs was to find out more about the Mac in general, especially as I was doing some free music recording sessions in a studio where the sound engineer/producer was using Logic Pro 9. I think the Mac in the studio was a desktop Mac Pro with an Intel Xeon CPU, but whatever model it was it had a silver mesh case. Unfortunately what I found out was that these Macs had virtually nothing in common with the Mac in the studio and wouldn't even run Safari! I no longer own either of these Macs. After this experience I decided to create a Hackintosh laptop, by installing hacked versions of macOS from the website Hackintosh Zone. Unfortunately the two or three times I did this it was with limited success. There were problems with the graphics and one installation refused to boot up without the USB installer being plugged in. Each time I was only able to use the Hackintosh for a few weeks. Eventually I decided to buy a new/old MacBook, which could run the latest macOS Big Sur. I now own a MacBook Air 13 inch (early 2014). I don't think this group is suitable for someone who owns this type of Mac so I am looking for another group which would support it. My MacBook Air has 4Gb of RAM and I’ve started getting reports that my memory is low, so I should close some apps. One idea of mine is to buy whichever old MacBook Air or MacBook Pro I can afford, which has at least 8Gb RAM fitted, then install a patched version of macOS Big Sur. I have looked on the website lowendmac.com as well as on Google Groups to try and find another group which would be more suitable for me in my current situation, but I can't see a list of groups on lowendmac.com and as for Google groups all I can say is groups that I am a member of or have read using Google Chrome. I can't bring up an index listing lots of groups. Can someone please tell me about another Mac group I can join? -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
