[QUOTE="lokerd, post: 9907"] WoW! What did I get my self into?!?! I sure hope I didn't just waste $1,750! The local Apple Delaer said that I would be able to upgrade the iMacs. THey took the firmware upgrade to get to 9.2.2. How can I tell if they will take 10.2? When you say that I need to reinstall, are you saying that I will need to wipe the drive clean? So, in otherwords, I am wasting my time installing anything right now for the cameras that just came in this week? I am trying to get the students on the cameras as soon as possible. I would like to get all of the software installed....but will I be totally wasting my time to turn around and have the OS 10.2 arrive a week later. Also, I just relized that I will have 15 computers at 10.2, but the 5 eMacs have just 10. Will I need to upgrade the 5 eMacs so they will also be the same for the student...or are the similar enough? Ok, when you say I will need a support group for X Server, that I will need Unix...are you telling me that it is going to be difficult to set up?
