how to network w/ an iMac (please don't laugh:-)
My girlfriend just got an iMac, and, while I'm not much of an apple fan, I must admit it's nice. 256MB RAM, 30GB ATA66, dinky little monitor...
What would be the best way to share HD space, files, and my cable Internet connection. I already have two NICS for my PC and a five port 3com hub. Any recomendations on software(emulators or file sharing), etc.?

With your current setup, assuming you have either proxy software or a router to share your internet connection, you would be able to simply set the iMac to look to the IP address of the proxy server or router. This would only share your internet connection. In order to share files and printers you will need additional software. A program called Dave will allow the MAC to see files on a PC TCP/IP network. If you have some experience setting up small networks configuring the software should not be extremely difficult, although figuring out how those damn Macs work is enough to drive me crazy.
