Well, let's remember where this whole discussion started, my claim that the eMac was "yesterday's tech" even when it was launched, and your rebuttal of my claim.
I'll reiterate:
LCD vs. CRT
DDR vs. SDRAM
ATA/100 vs. ATA/66
SuperDrive vs. combo
RGDS,
Got a tip for us?

RGDS,
Keep in mind that later models of eMac had much of what the iMac had at the time (other than "cute", and the LCD, of course)
Same DDR memory (except the eMac was MUCH easier to max the RAM)
Superdrive available on either.
same hard drive bus speed.
Weight! The eMac was WAY heavier than the iMac - but that may not be a positive, I suppose
And, of course, the later models, along with the faster speed, could not boot to OS 9 natively.
