My son recently had an imac 8.5 given to him. Yes I know its old but he is very happy with it except he can't use MSN messenger. From what I have researched I understand that we may be able to upgrade to 9.2.2 and be able to use that messenger service. Can anyone guide me on how to do that? I did find a CD on ebay for sale but wasn't sure if I could use it to upgrade. What are the requirements? Or does anyone know if we can download MSN messenger using the current operating system? Thanks

You can upgrade to Mac OS 8.6 for free from here: http://download.info.apple.com/Apple...OS_8.6_Update/
Then you can see if this old version of MSN messenger will work: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/mo...&mode=info
