It runs OSX version 10.5.8; hardware: Intel Core 2 Duo 2GB Ram, so capable of accepting later OS versions. The user's problem is that the most up to date Safari for that OS version now baulks at many websites. Flash Player and any reasonable modern browser fails to run or fails to cope with Flash-heavy sites.<br></p><p>The installed OSX version will not communicate with Apple's Appstore (or whatever the damned thing is called. Although Apple no longer charge for OS upgrades, the only way to do so is by buying a DVD for £20 or more. Does anyone have access to a legal OSX 10.6 DVD which can start this machine on the upgrade path.</p><p>Thanks in advance.<br></p><p>Anand<br></p><p>PS I dislike using the word "upgrade" in this context. It is marketing nonsense and not technically meaningful.<br></p></body></html>
