Have to admit I am not familiar with this machine. (or any of the Intel 
Macs)

I was given an iMac 8.1 running OSX 10.5.8

The owner had a 10.6 upgrade DVD but when I try to run it to upgrade, I 
get a message "will not run on this version."

Actually, what I really need to do is just upgrade the browser.

Safari 5 connects to very few websites...I can't even connect to the 
Apple store

Any idea where I can get a browser that is better than what I have>

new version of Firefox will not run



Also:

I wanted to empty SOME files from the trash bin NOT all of them

The ONLY option is to empty the bin>

I did Google and found two answers
Either hit the command or else the option key

That gives no option to delete only that file

Thanks
