Interesting - I just got my emac 2 weeks ago and think its a 10.1 machine? This Jaguar stuff is not familiar to me at all. My restore cd's are labled OS 9 (version 9.2.2) and OS X I didn't get the DVD/RW, just the CD/RW - haven't even figured out where the drive is yet:) Did I get screwed? I opted for the emac because i didn't care that much about the LCD vs. flat panel screen. I'm not a professional graphics person, just a home user - so I went with cheaper. I really just wanted less wires and hardware and junk. I was so sick of crawling under my desk with flashlight. Could have gone witth the Gateway profile but decided to opt for the "little" guy. I'm really getting upset by all the mega companies and mergers out there. If you like American inovation you have to support it sometime. I just got the two books I ordered, Crossing Platforms is copyrighted 1999! I'm a bit upset by that. I'm so new at Mac, plus I lost my little white book so I don't even know if I have disks I'm supposed to upgrade with. I've used PC's for 20 years though frankly I'm not a uh...computer person per se. They are a tool - I want to do something I figure it out and do it. If its the long way, a work around, I don't care. If I don't need to do it I don't know how because I don't care to figure it out. This list seems heavy on how to upgrade which would be interesting but just makes me sort of anxious because my understanding is that the eMac is totally unupgradeable? As for how I like it etc. Ummm well, sort of a standard new tool like experience so far but I'm not a demanding user really. Mary How do you know where your machine was made?
