Default Good/Bad gift

Well I was helping my brother-inlaw, or my sister's husband, with a couple of things around his new house, wiring etc...and as we're going through some of his old stuff we find a Macintosh computer, I dont know much about Macs but maybe somebody in here does, well anyway, he didnt want it cause he is NOT computer literate, he knows how to turn it on and is proud... ...anyway, I got it home and tried to turn it on, it turns out that he took the Hard Drive out of it and sold it...yea...so I was able to come across a spare 40GB HDD and put it in the machine, and what I really need to know is, what kind of Operating system should I get on it? *I think its a Power Mac 4, but other than not having any knowledge about Mac's, a free PC is a good PC > > > > > >

that's where there's a misconception here. it's not a pc ^^;

i'll admit, my personal knowlege of mac's is limited (i avoid them) but you're going to have to somehow get the mac OS loaded onto the hard disk... that's if the new hard disk will even work properly at all.

i suggest you ask on a mac forum, here's one here:

good luck ^^;
