eMac: Free at last!

Apple''s most-affordable G4 desktop is now available to anyone with the money to buy
Due to strong consumer demand, Apple today announced the immediate availability of its
new eMac to consumers. Originally offered to just education customers, the eMac was
launched in April to rave reviews and has since generated tremendous interest from
consumers.
Apple is offering a new CD-RW and modem configuration eMac through all of its retail
channels. The eMac features a stunning 17-inch flat CRT and a powerful 700MHz PowerPC
G4 processor in a compact design that is 8mm less deep than the original 15-inch iMac.
Priced for retail at just US$1,099, the eMac is the most affordable PowerPC G4 system
ever.
"Consumers have pounded on the table demanding to buy the eMac, and we agree," said
Apple CEO Steve Jobs. "The eMac''s production ramp is ahead of schedule, so we''ll
have enough eMacs this quarter to satisfy both our education and non-education
customers."
All eMacs include Apple''s award-winning suite of digital lifestyle software including
iPhoto for managing and sharing digital photographs, iMovie 2 for creating digital
movies, and iTunes 2 for creating a digital music library. With five USB ports and two
FireWire ports, eMac provides easy plug-and-play connections to popular peripherals
such as digital video camcorders, digital still cameras, printers and scanners.
eMac is available immediately from the Apple Store, at brick-n-mortar Apple Stores and
through Apple Authorized Resellers for US$1,099 (SRP).
Analysis: This is good news for all. Moreover, it''s a move certain to aid Apple''s
efforts to drive market share as the eMac offers power and powerful ease-of-use at a
price PC-addled consumers will be able to immediately appreciate.
