A friend has bought one of the I'mac desktop machines, can anybody tell me if these things come with an integral modem, she's asked me to set up a net connection for her and I'm not familiar with Mac boxes.

Thanks

It should have an internal modem. You're talking a mac computer, right? iMac relates to their toys,i.e iPod,iTunes, etc.

I am pretty certain it has an internal modem (considered buying one a year or so ago but went for a new PC instead).

kiska -- over here, at least, the most recent Mac computers have been branded iMac (from 1998 onwards -- first the translucent coloured models, then the one with the hemispherical base and the pivoting flat screen, and now they've announced a new one (I believe).

OK, thanks. Forgot about the iBooks.
