What’s at the top of your To Do list? Get your email? Edit a home movie? Surf the web? Download music to your new iPod mini? Add new images to your digital photo library?

Whatever your plans, eMac makes it easy. The most affordable digital hub, eMac comes with a wealth of software, letting you get to work (or play) as soon as you unpack your amazing all-in-one system.

And talk about connections, thanks to the built-in modem and 10/100BASE-T Ethernet connector you’ll find among eMac’s ports, you can easily connect to the Internet via dial-up, DSL or cable modem. Or wirelessly: just install an AirPort Extreme Card and you can surf the Internet without wires, additional phone lines or complicated network hardware.(1) eMac also comes with two high-speed FireWire 400 ports, so you’ll be able to connect your iPod, digital camcorder, hard drives and other external devices when, for example, you’re ready to autosync with iTunes or download footage for editing in iMovie. The three USB 2.0 ports provide another high-speed plug-and-play, connectivity option for graphic tablets, printers, cell phones, scanners and more. And, thanks to Mac OS X version 10.3, “Panther,” your eMac will automatically recognize your digital camera when you’re ready to download your digital photos into iPhoto. Just plug it in. And enjoy.
