Hi Guys - thanks for your kind attention. It's always comforting when you can hear voices out there in the vast darkness!
I'm on an ancient dinosaur here..Mac PowerPC G5, 10.4.11 (which is why I can't upgrade to anything)
I have Safari (4.1.3) and Firefox (3.6.25) browsers, but Firefox started acting a bit buggy last year and I stopped using it. previously it was my preferred browser.
My husband got me a Mac Mini this past February, but it's still in the box due to cold feet regarding hooking it up and correctly transferring apps, etc. (not files, I'm ok with those) from my computer. If I could set that up, I'd be running all the latest versions, and have Adobe CS6 (I'm a graphic designer) to load as well.
I was at an Apple store last week and asked one of the guys there about it and he answered in such a way to sufficiently convince me I shouldn't try doing the upgrade ("too complicated"). It's a shame the Mini is almost a year old and hasn't been used. If I could afford it (I lost my job a while back) I'd have someone knowledgeable come in and set it up as I'm afraid of doing something wrong. May I ask your thoughts, (though this Q perhaps should go in a different section) - is it as difficult as the Apple guy thinks?
Many thanks.
