The iMac has 2 firewire ports, 2 USB slots, 1 ethernet port, and the usual headphone and mic slots.I'm certain the CD-ROM drive isn't dead, it's just stubborn. It refuses to work when the iMac boots.I have a few 8 gig USB drives lying around, a PC run network, an OS 9, and a few OS X CD and DVDs lying around. I also have access to an iMac at work. I have a few images of Mac OS's on my home computer that I stored just in case if the CD's or DVD's became unusable (NOT used for copywright infringement, simply as a backup so I would not have to buy another copy).I am not very fluent in Apple computers at all but hardware and Windows wise I am experienced.</blockquote>
