Ha, while on that note, anybody want to buy a 1Ghz eMac?

I lost 1,000 dollars trying to get one, but I still managed to buy a MacBook within a month of the incident. You save properly and you'll have one soon enough.

I don't know what y'all have against eMacs - I really like them!

I like the eMac also. The only two things going against it are the unfortunate capacitor issue and the weight. Other than that, I think it's a beautiful Mac, especially with a bright and crisp flat CRT. Makes the G3 iMacs look ancient with their curved CRTs.

Here's more information on the capacitor issue:

Apple wasn't the only one affected by this problem. IBM, Dell, Asus, ABIT, and a bunch of other manufacturers went through it as well.
