Hi for a number of years I have been staring into cyber-space through "windows", I have just bought as seen un-tried a PB1400cs/133 as an intro to the "mac alternative". Hum now for the problem, as a MAC vigin, imagine my suprise when I power it up and all I get is a picture of a cute little floppy disc with a Question mark flashing on it. HELP please ?? what is it asking me to do? I so want to leave windows behind, but on a limited budget it is a little frustrating, do I need to install an operating system, and if so which one and where do I get one from ??
Cheers Rowly

Escaping from "windows"
that means there is no operating system installed on your mac. quite the same as the message "no boot volume found" on a windows box...
install the operating system from the (hopefully?) enclosed cd's.
Hi chris thanks for your input, so I was on the right track after all, so now my problem is to find an OS suitable on floppies as it has no CD drive. cheers rowly
os 8 was the last mac os i think was distributed on floppies and rarely goes for over $20 but kind of hard to find
Hello, another member here is selling external CD drives on the For Sale Forum.
I would highly reccomend this option, as well as the seller !
Best Regards,
