Where to buy OS 10.4 for 2003 eMac

[icemanjc]

Well I'm pretty sure that eMac model only came with 10.3.9, so I do not think those 10.4 system specific discs will work.

I don't know either. When I purchased them I was told they would work on any eMac with a 1 Ghz or better CPU and not with those with slower CPU's. It worked on mine beyond that I don't know. Everyone have a nice day. Ralph

This software booted my eMac and installed OS 10.4 without problem. Ralph

Those are System Restore discs for a specific model eMac. Because the OP likely has a different model eMac, your System Restore discs are likely to be only coasters in his machine. However, any retail version of MacOS X 10.4 DVD will boot OP's machine just fine. Also, he won't have to worry about the motives of someone who is so anxious to "give" him something.

I will sell you my full retail version Mac OS X 10.4 DVD, including the Mac OS X 10.4 Missing Manual book at no extra charge, for $50 plus the cost of actual postage.




*my motive is to make money by selling something I no longer need.

My only "motive" is to try and help my fellow man. I rebuild and "give" computers to children who can't afford them on a regular basis. If this is the reaction to my attempts to save someone money by giving them something I no longer need I will pass on this forum. I have enjoyed it--now not so much. Ralph

I don't know about you, Doctor X, but if my integrity was publicly questioned
in a similar fashion, I myself would damn sure respond in public.

As far as histrionics go, someone threatening to leave the forum over a non-issue
is kinda funny...........

Thanks for the kind words g/re/p. You are correct of course about my being a little over the top but I was angry. Its morning now and I'm still here but will probably carefully review future postings. Ralph
