Because that's a different size. Edited by (04/16/07 03:51 AM) _________________________ To live is to let die

Waragainstsleep Registered: 02/13/05 Posts: 1723	I don't think anyone here is really allowed to condone that sort of thing. But where you get it is your business. Can't imagine there is too many people sharing such an old OS, since bit torrent wasn't popular (if it existed at all?) when 10.2 was current, so you might find it takes a long time to download anyhow. There must be someone who has old 10.2 discs for sale somewhere. You wouldn't have to pay much if you found a set on eBay. Or anywhere else I imagine.
