I think you should call Animal Control, they will know what to do. _________________ I tweaked and it tweaked back! So I Tweaked some more!

We seldom do.....remember this is a computer forum, so why do you ask about a mac?  _________________ .

You DO realize your Mac probably can't handle Panther. With Mac, a new OS almost always means a new Mac..........unlike a PC, where you can just drop in another stick of RAM or a faster proc.
It would be helpful if you said what problems you were having, though.  _________________ Big enough to scare you |

I'm fairly certain that it's doable, just strongly not recommended, in fact it's not even supposed to be doable
it requires an insane amount of work, most likely another mac, or some way of accessing the bios (in whatever form it may be on that mac) I remember on mine i had to use another mac to serial talk into the bios and do bios changes through a remote consol.
Might be less dificult to just install linux on it. probably get better performance as well _________________ If time is of the essence,

that which holds such great importance,

Or you know, you could always see how many times you can get it to skip on the surface of a large body of water. _________________ "....Or as almost every word in a sentence; Tweak the tweaking tweakers!"

heh heh...there is just as much tweaking going on in the Mac world as there is here....=]
I know it possible, but some of the terms i dont know....like verbose mode. what?!
There is a app called XPostFacto that tricks the 10.3 or higher installer to thinking your mac is USB native, which my wallstreet is not, then it should install......right before i did this, i jammed 512 or RAM into it, which made OS 9 SOAR! Now i want X
Meobius, debian is going on the iMac 333...=]
right now its hanging on the boot screen of OS9, then OSX, then OS9, then OSX.....common problem from what i know....but the XPF forum is a paid site, which we all know i dont have money for.....
Jaguar however, IS supported by Apple on this machine....but again...i dont have money for a copy of THAT either....
And fresh, once installed....you know, that it'll be faster than your smell inspiron...=P _________________

Are you saying that yours will skip more than mine will?
Back to topic.
TH (one button-mouse using domo lover) - Have you run into mods that can be done to iPods on the mac forums? Or preferred conversion programs. I have heard that some work a lot slower than others. _________________ "....Or as almost every word in a sentence; Tweak the tweaking tweakers!"
