Some OSes

All from the same eBay seller I got:

2X iMac Mac OS 9 Install CDs

Mac OS X 10.0.3 Retail Install CD

Mac OS X 10.1 Upgrade CD

Only $31.05, free shipping!

Mac OS 9 will go on my B&W G3 and G4. Mac OS X 10.1 will go on my Indigo iMac. [^]

Why 10.1? Really...you want 10.2 or better!

It came! I actually like how the very early OS X looks. It looks very different. The happy mac is great, and I never saw this rainbow beach ball before. 10.1 still runs fast on 128mb RAM. :beige:

10.0 and 10.1 actually looked quite interesting. Not much that you can do with them anymore, but there's always a way. 😀

Note the shadowing on the text in 10.0 and 10.1. While nice, it did sometimes make it difficult to read the text.

After I upgrade to 10.1 with the 10.1 upgrade CD, am I free to use 10.0 on a different computer? Or can I not since it's an upgrade?

Not *legally*... although I doubt very much if there would be any practical repercussions. I've upgraded all 4 of my OS X machines with the same install disk through every version of OS X and I've never even got a nasty email from Apple.

AFAIK, if the original owner still has 10.0 or 10.1 installed on his computer, then you can't legally install it on yours... at least that's the rule of thumb for used software, you'd have to read the EULA to find out for sure.

The seller said he was never going to use that mac again. 😛
