I will go one step further. Floormat the HD and then install OS X 10.2. If
you don't have a highspeed connection to the web, have someone else burn
10.2.6 Combo Update to disk for you.
You'll be surprised at the refinements relative to 10.1.4!
I suspect that you probably bought the 1st generation eMac (i.e. 700/800 MHz
models, smaller video card), right? That's why it would've shipped with
10.1.4 (you must've bought before January this year or else got an "end of
line" item?). 10.1.4 is what was installed in the factory and they released
10.2 after the computer had been setup. It would cost them quite a bit in
terms of labour & such to take the CPU out of the box, reformat the HD and
install the software (probably less than throwing in CDs which cost them
$0.50 each... vs. 30 mins of a techhie paid $20/hr (& if they had to open up
the computer to replace the HD the cost would *skyrocket* b/c the eMac isn't
exactly a space-aged B&W G3 or G4 tower in terms of ease of access ;-).
