I'd buy the eMac, mainly because I like the all-in-one design with a CRT, just like the original iMacs. What I *don't* like about the eMac is the lack of colors! Why are they stuck on white? How boring! Why not have some different color choices? I picked the Blueberry iMac I have now just because I liked the color! I had already decided I could afford a 333 iMac from eBay, so I kept bidding on Blueberry ones until I finally got one. -- Gerry Uhlan Baltimore, Maryland
