Antenna on eMac

[derekblock]

i've researched around and it says that the eMac has a built in antenna? this isn't Airport I presume. so what is it used for?

AirPort cards do not have antennas.

The "built in" antenna of the eMac is simply its metal chassis.
Same goes for the Notebooks, minis and iMacs.

The Mac Pros/Power Macs have an external antenna that is needed to boost the AirPort signal.

you might be confusing AirPort with antenna, AirPort is the actual network card/adapter and I think you probably have that

That little wire poking out (that you insert into the AirPort Card) in those pics is just attached to the chassis along the screen.
The metal chassis is still the bulk of the "antenna".
