The reports of speed-bumped eMacs I've seen have been on US websites, so UK listers may not have noticed that the entry-level combo model is now �100 cheaper here, at �549, while the superdrive model is down �250 to �699. Still significantly dearer than in the US (comme toujours), but this change in the entry-level price belatedly reflects the state of the dollar: two days ago the combo eMac cost the equivalent of $1150 in the UK. I presume other European markets are seeing similar price cuts.
NB: at time of writing the UK Apple Store hasn't been updated - it still shows the old prices and the old specs - but the front page at www.apple.com/uk gives the new details. I'm well chuffed: the other week I was about to spend �700 on a combo eMac (including �50 to bring the RAM up to a basic 256MB), but some big bills came in and I decided to wait another month. Now I can spend the same money on a superdrive model, or save enough on the combo to buy an external hard drive. Yippee! Miche. -- I love deadlines.
