Hello-
i have been given a white ibook g3 with OSX-10.141, by my older sister and her husband, because i had cancer but i am better now, and they have more
money than god. Anyway, I never got any disks from them, and
since i have had more than a few old computers crash, I asked them if they could look around for the original boot-disks and send them to me.
Well, they can't find them, and say that I can DOWNLOAD
from Apple the system, if it ever crashes. Free. Uh-Huh... sure.
Before I go ordering a new (obsolete) 10.4 tiger disk legally, from Apple,
at full retail price...
is this actually true-- that Apple will provide me with the OS in downloadable
format, if I have problems with the computer?
(I have bought 10.39 disks on eBay, just in case.. but i'd be much happier with 10.4,
which I have on the machine now... but i could never find them for sale)
So, what he said sounds sort of kooky.. but is it? He directed me to some
sort of site called clonedisk or disk clone; anyway, I'm not trying to steal
anything, I just want the facts.. you can't download an OSX operating system, or upgrade on older one to a newer one online, you need the actual disk, right? And I will be paying for that disk, right?
thanks.
