Apple Revises eMac

Posted by timothy on from the flatscreen-would-rule dept.

RadRafe writes "Today Apple revised the eMac. It now sports a 1.25 GHz G4 processor, DDR RAM, and Radeon 9200 graphics. The Combo Drive model has twice as much RAM as before, and the SuperDrive model now costs just a grand. This is the first consumer Mac update in five months."

    What a rip off Apple, no one is ever gonna buy the 40 GB iPod now - not when for just $300 more they can get a 40 GB music player with a combo drive, airport extreme & bluetooth support, and a 17" CRT for viewing cover art and playlists.

    Plus it comes with Garageband and iTMS BUILT IN!!!

    XP can easily be virus free. Three easy steps:

    1) Start with a fresh install of Windows.
    2) Plug in monitor, power, keyboard, mouse.
    3) Stop.

    So long as you follow these three steps EXACTLY, you will not have a single virus on your computer.

    DISCLAIMER: I cannot make any promises if you attempt any other actions with the PC.

      It's scheduled to be released immediately after your purchase of a G4 powerbook.
