[QUOTE="Bluewolf, post: 39059"] The eMac my family ordered arrive on Monday of this week, but I was only able to open it and set it up for them today. At first I was worried that the computer had been damaged as one of the corners of the delivery box was damaged. To my relief the eMac had more cushioning then a gigantic cushiony thing. The installation of the eMac stand was easy, although caused alarm as the computer with the added height nearly banged into a fixed shelf above the computer desk. Thankfully though there was a 2cm gap. With the eMac sat upon the desk I set about hooking it up to our printer and outdated ADSL USB modem. Both installation CDs were useless as the drivers were designed for OS 9. A frantic search on Google on another computer later I had both drivers. With the printer and modem working I set about tinkering with the Network setup so that Safari could dial out on the modem. However there in lay the problem. I had experienced the same problem before, and regrettably I could not remember what the technician said. The problem was that it could not connect with the PPP server. :confused: Despite the lack of internet I sat back and marvelled at a machine I took less than 30 minutes to unpack, go through the installation procedure and attach other pieces of equipment to it. Macintosh is truly wonderful. I could literally plug and play rather than pray! And so with that in mind I explored Panther. Being able to play on Panther for a while made me realise just how much I am missing out on by using Jaguar. I was tempted before to hold out for Tiger, but now I have had a change of heart. The next investment for my PowerBook will be an OS upgrade. For now though I turn my sights to a wireless network with a constantly on ADSL connection. A pipe-dream? With Macintosh I will be finished before I have even started! [/QUOTE]
