emac ..a1002...anyone heard of this?

I was just given a eMac a1002...what it says on case...and haven't a clue how to operate it. Always a PC person & not much of a computer person at all. Been trying to find info on this equipment without any luck. It does boot up but keeps saying to reboot. So, haven't even got into it yet. If anyone has info or suggestions, let me know. Sure would hate to trash this just because I don't know how to operate it!!
Thanks in advance for any help!!!

G'day tx,

First up - pry open the optical drive door (big oval below the screen, where the Apple logo is on the front), and tell us what it says on the sticker there.

EG Mine says:

1.25GHz/512MB/160GB HD/DVD-RW/CD-RW/56k MDM

Also, can you tell us the first 5 characters of the serial number - mine is YM430 - which tells us it was manufactured in China, in 2004, week 30.

When you say, "It keeps saying to reboot" - does the computer actually go all the way through the boot up process, and get to the desktop? What does the reboot window actually say exactly?

If you can get in to it, click on the Apple menu (top left corner), and then choose "About this Mac". It will tell you which version of the Mac Operating System it is running. Mine - Version 10.5.8.

Cheers
