Verizon DSL Mac Support - Direct phone number

Have Verizon DSL? Do you hate having to wade through the phone tree to get to Mac support?

866-268-4630

Then as soon as the lady starts talking, enter in 1112.

This will jump you right into the Mac queue. Don’t ask me why the hell I actually had to call them (it’s a long and sordid tale of my DSL kinda working, them “checking into it”, it suddenly not working for two days, then working again at half speed and only now finally working.)

Pray that all you know is that you have a Mac and know nothing else because the lady didn’t really know much about them. It’s very likely that you know more about Macs than they do. Even if you bought one last week for the first time. It only prevented me from being jumped over to the Mac queue after having waited through the PC queue and the idiot on that end asking, “What do you mean you don’t have any Windows computers in the house? And what’s Linux?”

::shudder:: I pray my internet doesn’t go out again as it may shave a few more years off of my life.

Hey there, I've recently picked up an old iMac (blueberry) for $20. It's still loaded up with OS9 which is frankly doing my head in (been too long).

What would be the best version of OSX to run on one of these? (it's a G3 if that helps?)
stewartcook asked

I took a quick look at one of the most handy sites ever, EveryMac to confirm my hunch.

The maximum OS that your iMac will take is 10.3.9, Panther, which at this point in time is 5+ years old. The computing Paleolithic Era.

The next version of the OS, Tiger, which would get you into the relative Stone Age (3+ years old) requires a FireWire port which this iMac does not have.

You’re going to run into a lot of problems with that machine due to age. Let’s even start basically here: getting a modern web browser on it will be impossible.

For its time, it was a good basic computer. These days though…
