Hello again all....!
Visiting a swap meet the last weekend I bought a iMac G3/500 DV SE. Always like this model of iMac and wanted to have one. In a impulse, I shelled out the $75 the seller was asking. Checked the thing and have Mac OS 9.2.2 installed, a 80 GB HDD and 1 GB of RAM. Comes with the Apple Pro keyboard and mouse.
Long history short, I put it in a desk in a University where I give classes (wanting to upgrade/tinker with it) and a professor passes by and fall in love with the thing (I cleaned it thoroughly....). Sitting there with no use, I have a Bluetooth combo of keyboard and mouse. The guy offers me $300 if:
1-Update the OS to the maximum possible (I have done my homework and think 10.4.11 is the maximum. No problem here because I have a legit copy I can use and pass)
2-Install a decent version of Office
3-Install the version of Adobe CS suite the machine can suport
4- Get the Bluetooth combo of keyboard and mouse to work
5-Make the computer wireless capable (Internet)
So, my real problems are issues 2, 3 and 4, and here I come with me advice/help request:
1-What is the last version of Office supported in this machine/OS
2-What is the last Adobe CS suite supported in this machine/Os
3-The Bluetooth thing can be done in a reliable way? What do you suggest to resolve this issue?
As always, thanks in advance for the advice and help.
