That's not so.

Mavericks is also available from "other sources" as well.
That's where I obtained it from, because I don't have an app 
store account.
Since there's no revenue to Apple involved, I have no qualms 
about that.

If you want to obtain it, I suggest you pair the words 
"Mavericks" and "torrent", and see what comes up...

The flame suit is on.

Yes it is.

Stealing free software seems rather stupid (and stupidly risky) to me,
but whatever.

You can get an account for free.

it takes less than a minute to get an account, and no credit card is
needed.

apparently you have no claims about violating the law.

besides, who the hell pirates free software?

then search for copyright infringement and ethics.

Ignoring the legalities, the problem with getting it through unofficial
sources is there a possibility of some moron having mucked about with
the installer and you're Mac ending up either unstable or with malware
on it.

David-

Based on your line of questioning, your computer may not be capable of 
working with Mavericks.  According to Apple's website,

Mac models compatible with Mavericks:
   €	iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
   €	MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
   €	MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
   €	MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
   €	Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
   €	Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
   €	Xserve (Early 2009)

If yours is on this list and is currently running Leopard, then yes you 
would have to buy Snow Leopard and then upgrade via the internet.

If your computer is not on the list, you may still benefit from 
upgrading to the highest version your computer can use.  If you need to 
sync an iPhone or other i-Device with iTunes, you would need at least 
Snow Leopard upgraded to 10.6.8.  But be sure your computer can work 
with Snow Leopard before you spend the money!

Mavericks is a free downgrade.

I don't know if your machine is on the list.  I backed up first in case 
my internal disk got messed up.  The download was 5GB, and the process 
took an hour after that.

however, you should be sure your computer can run it first.

Yes, as long as your Mac is compatible.

http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/

Note in particular the list of compatible models (all models introduced
in March 2009 or later, some models as far back as mid 2007, but none of
the 2006 models), the minimum memory requirement, and the minimum free
disk space.

If you aren't sure exactly which model you have, you can use System
Profiler (see below) to find the "Model Identifier" on the initial
Overview screen it displays, which indicates the family and specific
generation of your Mac, in a string along the lines of "MacBookPro3,1".
Given that, you can ask here or do a web search to find which model that
is (that particuar example is a mid 2007 MacBook Pro).

As far as memory is concerned, you must have at least 2 GB, and I'd
recommend at least 4 GB for better performance. If you need more memory,
there are various sources for buying it, and installing it is relatively
easy in most Mac models. (It would be helpful if you at least mentioned
which Mac model you have.) The maximum memory which can be installed
varies between models, and is generally higher in more recent models
than earlier ones.


Also check whether you are still running any PowerPC-only applications
that won't work on OS X 10.7 or later. Common ones are Microsoft Office
2004 or earlier (2008 or later is OK), Adobe CS2 or earlier (CS3 or
later is OK), AppleWorks, Eudora.

If so, you will need to replace them with a different application,
upgrade to a later version (if the application hasn't been
discontinued), stop using them, or find a way to allow ongoing use (such
as running Snow Leopard Server in a virtual machine, or setting up a
dual-boot system where you can occasionally boot into Snow Leopard to
run older software).

You can get a list of installed applications and their kind via System
Profiler, which you can run via Apple menu > About This Mac > More Info.
Click on the Applications category in the left column, wait for the list
to populate, then look down the "Kind" column, or click on that column
heading to sort by kind.

These are the main kinds of applications:

Classic: already won't work on Snow Leopard (required Mac OS 9 or
earlier, or the Classic environment in Mac OS X 10.0 through 10.4 on a
PowerPC Mac).

PowerPC: won't run on OS X 10.7 or later.

Intel or Universal: able to run on OS X 10.7 or later but individual
applications might need free updates or paid upgrades to fix
compatibility issues.


Assuming you are satifisfied that your Mac will be able to run Mavericks
and you won't have to worry about application compatibility...

I recommend doing a full system backup to an external hard drive before
upgrading to a new OS X version, in case something goes wrong and you
need to revert back to the old system.

You can get Mavericks it by running App Store (in your Applications
folder if it isn't on your Dock), signing in with your Apple ID
(creating a new one first if necessary), then locate OS X Mavericks (it
should be on the front page) and click the FREE button to download it.
It is about 5.3 GB to download. The installer runs automatically once
downloaded.

I haven't read the rest of this thread, so somebody else might already 
have made this point, but SheepShaver will let you run OS 9.0.4 (or 
earlier, for some versions of earlier) and any software that will run on 
them -- provided you have suitable disk images of them.  (Something that 
was only on a floppy would probably be tricky to load!)

I never could get Sheepshaver to run games without serious sound and
graphic errors. But it did work passably well for apps like WordPerfect for
Mac.

I think that's a reasonable thing to assume. 

Used G5's seem to have (relatively) held their value, while G4's have become
give away (please take them so I don't have to drag them to the recycle place)
items.

There are a few G4's with some value, such as the mini (which by now needs
an almost impossible to find memory upgrade) and a new PRAM battery,
and the last generation of laptop, if you can find one without a bad 
memory socket. They don't go for much. :-)

Tiger is a good operating system for them, the last one that runs Classic mode.

Geoff.

I have a rather cool G4 iBook. 1.33 Ghz CPU. 768 MB RAM.
60 GB hard drive.

Yes. Open up the App Store and click on it. If your machine cannot run
it, it will tell you and won't download.

 It is the latest version ever to run on my wife's Macbook if that
helps you any.
 Which it probably doesn't.

  Now, now, play nice. He's not a troll until people start squabbling
over what he says. Trolls start flamewars. This one is merely a lamer.
Or maybe a noob. Yes, he *could* be a genuine noob.
  Or from Mars. Or have lived in a deep cave for three years or more.
Or not have Internet access. Though that last is a little problematic
considering his communication.
