Hello

I need to know what my operating system is but for some reason the "about my mac" page won't open. Any ideas?

Choose Computer from the Finder’s Go menu, control-click a drive, and select Get Info; this may reveal the OS version. If it doesn’t, open the System/Library/CoreServices/ folder on the drive, select SystemVersion.plist, and press the spacebar.
