Thanks, I'll check that out when I get home. I found that link you provided as well, but without knowing which one I have, it doesn't help much. lol ... You wouldn't believe how many times I tried to right click on what I thought was "My Computer".

Why is there no right click on MAC? And is there a better OS I can throw on there? Snow Leopard?

I wouldn't plop down the money for a better OS... Although I don't know why you're using it instead of your PC anyways so there might be a need. The big selling point of these things were "Lol, look at the 64bit processor" and while impressive at the time, its performance is dwarfed by my 600 dollar laptop... Unless this is from the 2006 line of G5s, in which case it's still a beast... some of those babies had 3 dual core processors in there.

And it's not the OS preventing you from right-clicking, it's your mouse, silly. There are definitely two, three, etc button mouses for MACs.

The Power Mac G5 was introduced with three models, sharing the same physical case, but differing in features and performance.

The 1.6 GHz model shipped with 256 megabytes (MB) of RAM, an 80 GB hard drive, and could employ a maximum of 4 GB of RAM.

The 1.8 and dual-processor 2.0 GHz models shipped with 512 MB of RAM, and could employ a maximum of 8 gigabytes (GB) of RAM.

The dual-processor model also included an ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card.

you can use a PC mouse or a newer apple mouse, and set up right click.

I think the latest OS supported on the powermac is leopard.

It hasn't been used in a few years, I know that much. A few years meaning two or three. The hard drive said something about having 148GB total space with 137GB free. The machine was used for one thing, procuring brochures.

I'm not expecting this machine to be anything special, I paid nothing for it. It's primary use is a learning tool. If it works good, I might use it for video editing, maybe.

I'm not switching to a Mac, I've always wanted one to learn from. I can also test the site on it too for other Mac users and can help fix related issues.

When I get home I'll do as instructed about finding the system specs.

Control-click or option-click will often bring up a "right mouse" menu.

Or just plug in a 2 or 3 or gazillion button mouse/trackball/tablet whatever into the usb port.

wait til you discover some of the cool things...like a customizable desktop...or expose...or...never mind. as a techie, you'll probably consider all that for weenies.
