Have to admit I am not familiar with this machine. (or any of the Intel Macs)
 I was given an iMac 8.1 running OSX 10.5.8
 The owner had a 10.6 upgrade DVD but when I try to run it to upgrade, I get a message "will not run on this version."
 Actually, what I really need to do is just upgrade the browser.
 Safari 5 connects to very few websites...I can't even connect to the Apple store
 Any idea where I can get a browser that is better than what I have>
 new version of Firefox will not run
   Also:
 I wanted to empty SOME files from the trash bin NOT all of them
 The ONLY option is to empty the bin>
 I did Google and found two answers
Either hit the command or else the option key
 That gives no option to delete only that file
 Thanks

I don't know when the option was added, but I think it's been in macOS for quite a while.
Open the Trash, select the files you want to delete, then hold down the Option key and in the File menu of the Finder, you should find "Delete Immediately..."
