Someone has offered to give me a working IMAC for free. What another parts will I need such as a keyboard and mouse or will any ole mouse and keyboard work with it?

mouse & keyboard

Postby Pastor Gary » December 29th, 2008, 1:54 pm

Any USB generic mouse will work and most all USB keyboards will work, though there are a few Mac-specific keyboard commands that call for the "Command" key...

...in which case you'd need to adapt a bit with a Windows generic keyboard.

A question

Postby Full Quiver » December 30th, 2008, 6:25 am

They say it runs slow.

What would I have to do to correct this? Is there a way to reformat?

1) It may just be an older, slower machine... but
2) like PC's, more RAM will goose the speed, often noticeably.

Which version of the iMac is it? Is it the ones with the CRT screen that came in all sorts of neon colors, or is it the one with the LCD screen encapsulating laptop parts with a swivel hinge on the back?

The ones with the CRT screen are a bit slow but I know people at work that are still doing design work on them.

It's the neon version Chris. Tangerine is what I'm told and what the picture shows.

So more RAM not a re-format?
