A Mac 4 Me?



Apple’s eMac hits retail market

Apple Computer Inc. has resurrected the cathode-ray tube for the retail desktop market with a new computer that was originally intended only for schools. Citing customer demand, on Tuesday Apple introduced an "eMac" model for consumers. It is similar to its education counterpart that was launched in April, featuring a 17-inch cathode ray tube monitor and 700 gigahertz G4 processor.
At least this is vaguely affordable. And don't tell me about the low total cost of ownership. You don't have a gig of data to convert, plus software. At least the Linux distros I've seen can read/write to those files.
