General Comments
This was my fourth Mac (I'm on my 5th, a flat panel Apple iMac G5 - love it!!) This is a great computer, perfect for anyone who needs a lot of computer in a small space. I really liked the pop-out drawer for the CD/DVD recorder (the "slot-loading" drives of the previous and "new" models eventually leave scratches on the discs) as I mentioned above, there isn't a lot of software for the eMac but what they do have is the best of each kind (with a few exceptions, like Photoshop ) and most of it comes with the computer. So, you don't have to buy third-rate, buggy software that may or may not work with the latest flavor of Windows . Setting-up for Internet service was every bit as easy as they say, I was on the net for the very first time in 15 minutes. Hassle-free! Every printer, scanner, camera, etc. That I hooked-up worked right-away, without installing software in most cases. And when I did need software, it installed itself with little or no help from me. (to be fair, there were two exceptions but it was my fault, (and the manufacturer) for trying to install something that wasn't made for the Mac OS). But, most of the time even if it doesn't say it can be used on a mac - it can. After hearing all my (Windows PC) friends complain about their computers, I think my mac is the best buy for the money.
