You need to connect to the internet and run this program. It is similar to running windows update. On Mon, Dec 8, 2008 at 1:07 AM, Simon Royal [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Apple Updater?

Yeah Kyle is right Anything is possible with a router, glue gun, and a solder kit. I guess one could upgrade it to LCD at the same time. but seriously...LOL Even if there was a USB2.0 card(there isnt, of course), you can buy a newer iMac for the price of upgrading the old one. And as stated, USB2.0 periphs will work in a USB1.1 port only at the slower speed. -- I'm a PC AND I RUN LINUX!!! Unknown - Oh, come on.
