Transfering files from iMac to eMac- how?
I want to transfer some files and programs off of my old iMac onto the new eMac. Can I run a ethernet cable between the two and have the iMac hard drive reconized on the eMac? Is there a way I can transfer programs so they will work on the eMac? Should I start up in OS 9 on the eMac since that is the OS on the iMac? Thanks in advance!

Start file sharing on the computer you want to get the files from.
check your appletalk control panel and make sure both are pointed to "ethernet"
on the machine you want to get files from right click on the hard drive icon and under "sharing" set the permissions so that everyone can read/write.
go back to the users/groups control panel and make sure "allow guests to connect" is set.
goto the chooser or in X "connect to server(computer?)" and connect via appletalk.
firewire target disk mode is much easier...
