Ok, I just got given an old iMac.
So far, it does bugger all, but it goes into some EASY GO educational software thingy???
I am tryign to work out whats up with it.
So far, it seems that its got 64MBRAM cos its left with 38MB and that seems like its very efficient if it is.
Cannot work outh the HD Size, but Im under the impression its kind of 10GB or maybe less?
I also cannot work out the OS as it seems that only this Educational software runs and nothing else... If I try to quit it, the iMac shuts down??? - But it looks like MacOS 8.x and thats ONLY going by the fact that it looks identical to a theme I got on my Atari, because nothign in the menu seems to show this up.
I had a peek yonks ago and I saw that some older MacOS'es can be obtained on the net, even via Apple... Can 8 or even 9 be had?
How can I find out the specs on this iMac?
How far will it U/G? - New HD, RAM etc...
Its also only got a CDROM and it does not seem to work fully, so I might need a new CDROM, or preferably a DVD or even a writer!... Will I need specific models or are all IMacs going to have the same DVDROM?
This is as close as I can find...

Got to be one of them, but which one????
Is there anything like Everest for the Mac I can run to try?
How do I run software... This thing is just massively crippled to only run that educational stuff and I am unable to do anythign else at this time?
I need to get some MacOS CDs dont I?
Anyway, if anyonecan offer me anything, then thats will be great.
The use I have planned for it, is simply for basic EMails and internet... However it does look like its only going to do 800x600 and if thats the case, then I dont know?
