I just ordered a refurb eMac 1GHz combo drive to replace my 8100. :^D It'll be here in 6-10 business days.
I have a few questions: Is there a list somewhere of software that will work in OS 9 but not "Classic"? I've heard of such beasts.... If I use the G4 as a base station, will I be able to get 3 other Macs on the network via ethernet (I know, I'll need a hub.)? Will they all be able to go online that way, even though it's dial-up (speed issues noted)? In other words, if my G4 is home, and my 7600 is next door (I'm pretty sure it's within range--still need to double-check.), can I use the 7600 to dial-up via the G4 & airport? I don't want to keep the G4 dialed-up 24/7. Understand my question? What are the pros/cons of using the eMac as an AirPort base station instead of a dedicated one? I need a 3rd party Airport card for my 7600. Any recommendations/caveats? Ditto for my wife's blueberry iBook 300: which card should she use? Anything else I need to know/be warned of as someone transitioning from OS 9.1 on a 8100/G3 to an eMac running OS X 10.3? eMac-specific caveats? What's the easiest way to transfer all my stuff from one to the other, especially thinking about stuff that's going to mess up Classic? Should I just forget about 3rd party extensions, etc.? What must-have (pref. freeware) apps should I know about as a new OS X user? Do I need something extra to sync my Palm T|T3 via BlueTooth, or does that work with AirPort. What's the easiest way to import video from my VHS home movies? I want to get a SuperDrive soon and convert them all to DVD. No, my camcorder doesn't have USB or FireWire. I know, I sound like a total newbie, even though I've been messing with Macs since 1994 and Apples since 1982. But this is a whole 'nother ballgame. -- | Bought with a Price, -+- Dale | Mac & Palm Stuff & a cure for death: http://www.InfinityLtd.org |4U Jesus took your place so you could go to His place. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
