IE. I was using 4.0, but I upgraded to 5.0 thinking it might correct the graphics issues, and indeed it appears to have done so. Web pages now look exactly as they do on the PC.

No, you were correct before, it was actually made in 1997, and it's not possible for them to be created in 1999 since pre-G3 Macs had been since discontinued at that time.

I have my LAN cable plugged into it, but it isn't able to connect to any sites. I access the internet through a LAN. Can the Mac be configured to access the net using the same router my PC's use?
Go to the TCP/IP control panel, and configure it to use Ethernet, and set it to configure IPs from the DHCP server. Let me know if that works for you. If not, I have something else to try.
How do I get to the TCP/IP control panel?

Yeah, its not important that I use the latest or best OS. I don't want to slow the computer to a crawl.

« on: January 29, 2008, 04:54:36 PM »Alright, the Mac has 96MB of built in memory and 97MB virtual memory. That means I can upgrade the OS right?Correct. You can upgrade it to 9.0 or 9.1 - 9.2 is NOT supported on that Mac.
Ok, thanks for the info!
Vic, your worrying me.

Well, the beta was released back in September, so I would say that the public release of 2.0 should be out by this summer at latest. but with any luck it'll be before then. I will install it the moment I am able to.

Additionally, the Mac has the following software:
Adobe Pagemaker 6.5
Aldus Pagemaker 5.0

I was at a thrift store earlier today, and picked up a real nice Mac! Its a Power Mac 6500/250, running OS 8.6. Here are some pics:
The first pic is the computer. The monitor did not come with it, but thankfully is able to scan the Mac's range. The keyboard and mouse are from an older Mac that I have sitting in the basement.The computer even has an ethernet port, so i could probably get on the internet with it.
The second pic is an apple external hard drive, which I also found at the thrift store. I assume they both go together, but whether they do or not they work well together, so all is good. The HD is 3GB.
