Mac OS 7.5

[Beth Dierauer]

Jennifer,
Your message seemed a little ambiguous; are you looking for documentation 
on the system, or are you wondering where to purchase/obtain the system 
itself.

If you're looking for documentation, there are many books available that 
give an overview on using the Macintosh system. Look for very recent 
copyright dates and specific mention of system 7.5.

If you're looking for where to obtain the system, it is not freely 
available over the internet; it must be purchased. (Around $100, I think, 
although mail order sources may be a bit cheaper.) As you have already 
found, the only software available over the internet is the updates to 
the system.

I am a bit confused when you say you "have the CD-ROM," but it only has 
updates. What CD-ROM would that be? System 7.5 is distributed either on 
floppies or on CD, but it's possible you have a CD from some other source 
which only includes the updates, among other software.

MacWarehouse, MacZone and MacConnection are all reputable mail-order 
sources for Macintosh software. Shipping is overnight (for $3), and 
prices are low. I don't have contact info on them right here, but they 
all advertise in both the major Macintosh magazines, MacUser and Macworld.

I hope this helps.
