A few days ago I decided to get myself a powermac g4 350 mhz 64 mb sdram. It was priced at 39 euros. Now my question: was it a good deal?
In the store They booted it up for me and after nagging they hooked up a display cable. I then noticed that at first it showed the apple logo but then there came a blank screen with this in grey in the middle
the guys there said that they had wiped the drive and that there was no operating system installed. After arguing we agreed that they would install os x on it for me. The price would stay the same. Ive waited for half a week now and popped in the shop virtually everyday, but they keep postponing it.
I've decided that if I can't get them to install the operating system, I'll have to do it myself (I've got a friend who's got a load of old osx installation dvds)
If that doesnt work I've decided to transform my Powermac G4 into a hackintosh.
What do you guys think? What shall I do?Was it a good Price (I can bring it back, haven't paid the full price yet only 25%)?
I hope that you guys can help!
