Dumbest question ever...how do I tell if it has firewire?
::off to look that up::
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

if it has FireWire, it will have a port that sort of looks like a USB port, but a USB plug won't fit in there.

Thanks Sean. I went the wiki route and discovered that mine does NOT have firewire...which was introduced in 2000. My Powerbook is a 1998 Wallstreet II model. So, no joy there.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Bonny,
The Wallstreet had an ethernet port on the back under the flap.
You should just have to use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the two, then use file sharing.
Or if you have broadband, a small hub or router, or even a second port on the DSL box would suffice and give the system an IP.
Then sharing would let you apss files.
Might have to turn appletalk on on an OSX machine, if your eMac is OS X.

Thanks so much Daniel!
An old bf left an ethernet hub in my technical stash. That must mean I have an ethernet cable.
Yay!
I wonder if I can transfer the copy of Photoshop on the laptop to the classic environment on the eMac.
Too much to expect?

I have the best DH in the whole wide world - I woke up this morning with a shiny new iPod Touch on my desk!!!
So my question to all the techistas is, what sites do I need to have bookmarked in order to make sure I'm using this new toy to its fullest? Has anyone figured out yet out to install Freecell or Scrabble on it?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Birthday, Jess!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Hey folks. I've got a website I want to monitor for changes: [link]
I want to have it checked about once a minute, and it display a visual notification, make a sound, send an email or some such when it changes.
And I'm on a Mac...
Anybody seen anything like that?

Hey Jess, does the iPod touch do internet at all? I know iTunes doesn't have any games for the iPhone or iPod touch yet, so there's nothing native you can put on there yet (as far as I know, I only know the iPhone so far), but I know there's a couple of web pages out there with iPhone web apps/games, so if the iPod touch does internet in any way, you can find quite a few games for it that way.

once a minute? you need an RSS feed of the page.
this is good, but I don't think it updates that frequently:
