My G4 MDD running Mac OS 10.5.8 is getting ready give up the ghost. I am considering a MacMini. A family member is an apple employee so I can get it for a decent price. I DO NOT want to run any of the Lion iterations. Snow Leopard is perfectly acceptable to me for the foreseeable future. My question is When I get the mini, can Lion be erased, the HD reformated? and Snow Leopard be installed. Thanks Al Jones
