I hope meant to type update the OS to 10.2.8, instead of 9.2.8. I wouldn't
try. One, inspite of what the blurb states, if they're labeled eMac, then
they may not work on your machine; I recommend canceling the order. Two,
I'd look at Amazon.com for alternatives to getting Jaguar, but make sure
it's the full version and not an updater.
