Any Apple users out there care to help ? This unit was apparently part
of a school network , wants to connect to a termunal server - but will
function independently , if slowly . Part of that will be cured by
adding more RAM , 512 Mb ain't near enough . Not planning on putting
money into it until I know if it can be reset though .

Y'all are right , it's slow - I was hoping adding some RAM would help
that ... But if none of the software now available will run on it , I
see no point . I have a "new" box here I built for him , has a new
Asrock mobo , quad core cpu , 8 Gb RAM and runs Win7 Pro 64 . But until
he gets his room cleaned (ongoing battle , and his room looks just like
the rest of the house)Â* there's nowhere to put it .

I upgraded MY Apple iMac with RAM from Crucial years ago.
