A friend a mine just purchased an eMac and wanted to transfer files from her 1st Gen iMac. No firewire. The shop tells them they'll have to lay out ~ $150 to do this, and they're about to do so when I hear of this. Why? On a sheet of paper that came with the eMac, it say, essentially, you *require* OS X and firewire, etc to transfer files. OMG! Steve jobs, wtf?? Tried ethernet with file sharing, etc and the iMac couldn't be accessed. So we used my 128mb usb drive. Oh well - but what's up with that file tranfer instruction sheet!!?? -- Non Illegitimi Carborundum -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
