Apple Offers eMacs To All

Posted by pudge on from the all-part-of-the-jobs-master-plan dept.

pinqkandi writes "Apple released the cool and cheap eMac a few weeks ago -- but for educational purposes only. Today, they announced that it is now available to everyone, for only $1099, making it the cheapest G4 Mac ever. I'll buy one." I won't, but I am glad people who want to buy it, can. It's a nice little machine. I guess Apple doesn't see it cutting into iMac G4 sales, but I wonder if iMac G3 sales (starting at $800) will suffer.

    What kind of a moron would expect mac users to run Emacs.

    And why aren't they using GNU instead of *BSD? Someone call RMS!

    We all vie for eMacs, with vigor, no less, but rather more.
