    is your drive physically not opening up or is it not opening the files... and if you got this from a friend, wouldn't he know the password?

If your computer is beige, has a SCSI interface and does not have USB ports don't waste your time. It will never do what you want it to. Don't throw your money at something that is basically obsolete. Invest that money in something newer. G4's and Emac's can be purchased cheap ($20 or $30) on eBay.

If you can not acquire the password from your friend, and if your CD drive will not physically open:
First, try using a straightened paperclip - insert it gently into the hole next to the drive, and push it in firmly and then out. The CD drive should open.

If it does not, the easiest solution is to buy an external CD/DVD drive and install the Mac software with that.

What kind of Mac desktop is it, and what Mac CD did you purchase? If you bought a Leopard DVD, and the Mac desktop is old enough, it will not work.

Graduation day for reception

You'll have to ask the school. There's no way we can tell you when the reception is when you don't even bother to name the school or other organization holding the graduation.

My school has sum bad *** blocker that blocks proxy and every kind of tunnle there is, i want to no what can i do? ...

Unfortunately nothing. Most schools with suspend your internet access if they catch you trying to bypass their filters. Peer2peer sharing is mostly illegal and they are only protecting you in the long run.

I work at a school, my computer tech gave me a new superDisk drive. I use it to back up work orders. Now the Icon does not show on my desktop (I use a mac)

By SuperDIsk you mean the removable cartridge drive, right?
The drive itself will not show up on your desktop unless there is an actual cartridge in it.
If it doesn't show up even with a cartridge in it, check Finder / Preferences / General / Show these items on the desktop, and make sure External Disks is checked.
