The Wayback Machine is your friend:



This is just one version chosen at random, but the download worked.

Re: I get to buy a new computer!

[Julia Brinckloe]

My workhorse is a Mac Mini I bought secondhand on eBay for around $500,
fully loaded. It's a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 500 GB HD, now maxed out at
16GB RAM.

I bought a 23" Acer flat screen and now have a sweet system running OSX
10.9.5. I've not yet done the free upgrade to Yosemite because I'm well
satisfied with Maverick.

One downside--no DVD drive and not enough USB ports. But I simply added a
very slim DVD drive/burner and a USB/firewire external box. The whole thing
is stacked and takes up VERY little space on my desk. I love it.

Just my two cents.

Bill

OK so you want an iMac - a Desktop several of us can commend MacBook 
Air or Powerbook pros but if its to be a desk top there are some amazing 
deals around.

Did you check out OWC? You mightvalso be wise to go to the Applestore on 
line and look at reforms - excellent value and top rated kit! Like New.

I have a modern iMac with HDD and its been excellent.

Fusion Drives are part HDD and part SSD - best of both worlds.
