To all eMac owners : Apple told me all eMacs defective

[Kid Red]

The reason the problem is 'normal' is because the problem is...well, normal. A CRT has a sheet of metal right behind the screen that plays a part in transmitting the info that makes up your picture. That sheet simply hangs there, in space, freely to move as gravity sees fit. So, the bass from a speakers will cause the sheet the shake, flex, bend, etc as bass is know to do. There is no cure, because this is normal. I had the issue with my 36" HDTV and was told by a tech who came out because i thought the TV was broken, told me it's normal. I needed to move my speakers a little further away from the TV to prevent this from happening, or not turn the sound up as loud. So I moved my speakers a few inches further away from the TV to prevent this shaking because it was 'normal'.

So, it is normal, it's only a defect of the CRT design. Any and every CRT ever made is therefore defective by your account.

tip: turn down your speakers or get separates.

So you are going to wait 3 months or more for a 64-bit Windows before you buy this machine? That's pretty strange. Few people care about Windows that much. But this has nothing to do with an eMac.

People who care about music seldom buy a little transistor radio and then threaten the manufacturer with lawsuits. Instead, they take a CD to the store and try the hardware before they buy it.

The simple solution to this "dilema" is for Apple to solder some resistors into the speaker leads. This limits the current to the speakers, hence limiting screen artifacts. There is an issue with the power output of 16 watts. The amp is capable, but not in new config.

Its not like they told you to buy a new one. They are replacing it for you. How were they to know that a batch of eMacs were defective.
