Using Your Computer	3

Your eMac has many built-in features and expansion capabilities you can use to customize your computer to fit your needs.

Here are some of your computer’s features and capabilities:

•Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 ports for connecting additional equipment, such as printers, scanners, joysticks, keyboards, digital cameras, and floppy disk drives.

•FireWire ports for connecting high-speed equipment, such as an iPod, iSight camera, digital videocameras, and external hard drives.

•Optional Bluetooth module for connecting wirelessly to digital devices.

•The latest in communications technologies, such as a 56K v.92 modem (on some models), 10/100Base-T Ethernet, and optional AirPort Extreme wireless Internet and networking.

•VGA output with the Apple VGA Display Adapter (available at www.apple.com/store) lets you use your eMac with an external monitor or video projector. Use your eMac’s video out port and the Apple Video Adapter (available at www.apple.com/store) to present what’s on your computer’s screen on any television that supports composite or S-video.

•Audio line in port, headphone port, and more.
