I got a problem with one of the computers at home. My little brother put a floppy in the CD drive of out iMac. The CD drive does not work any more. We have an ibook and a powerbook at home now that the college guys are home. There are also two iPods. I need to upgrade to 10.3/and restore the iMac. Its have lots of issues. Is there any way to install from the labtops or ipods?
Loving the 12" powerbook.
