WHERE DO I GET MY BEST DEAL ON A EMAC

[mkaake]

Everything that's been said, while it may be true in some cases, I maintain that I personally have very little use for. While it seems to some to be an "economical" machine I really don't see it as such... rather I find the lack upgradeability to be a severe problem which has pretty much crippled that entire line to anyone but "consumer-end" users. While I'm not a professional myself I'd rather not have to buy a whole new computer every 2-3 years when I can just perform as-needed upgrades to keep it relatively up to date.

what's funny about that though is more often than not, people buy the upgradeable computer, and never upgrade it . of course, you could very well be the exception (not picking a fight here), but for most of the users out there, whether they will admit it or not, the emac would work great for them. i've found pretty much everyone that's bought one is overly suprised by how well they do perform.

anyhew, on to more important matters

Apple sells the vga adapter directly or in their stores. It's the same mini-vga adapter used on the imac and ibook.

No Apple stores remotely near me, I checked CompUSA and only found the composite/s-video adapter (considered using TV as a 2nd display) and I don't like ordering online.

If the orientation for an eMac is as an EDUCATIONAL machine what institution short of one specializing in film design is going to buy an eMac with a Superdrive over a G5 (which is usually under budget even for public universities). Personally I don't think eMacs are useful for more than word processing and internet work.

The eMac is no longer just an educational machine. And for all you know, this guy IS going to be using it for internet/word processing and he wants to burn DVDs for stuff like home movies in iDVD. (You know, regular consumer-type stuff.) He never said anything to the contrary.

For the budget-minded consumer/student, this is a great machine.
