I can see why Apple would not want to release the eMac to the
general public. Roughly the same hardware specs as the base model iMac LCD.
Approximately $1000 less - it would severely
cannibalise LCD sales. Only massive public reaction would sway Apple to
release the machine to consumers, but
It's a pretty good indication that Apple is taking the education

appropriate AND well-priced for education.

It's got S-Video out and comes with an S-Video to composite adapter

Hmmm, speaking as a Oz consumer, it looks to me like a case of less for
more. The optional stand seems a bit of a swizz. Maybe future Mac models
will come with an optional power cord too. So, I reckon it appears
expensive, but probably is intended to appeal to the cashed up foreign
student.

For those who are technically minded, would it be feasible to put Bluetooth

Does anyone know how to make a script to telnet to an IP, authenticate
(login / pass) and then reconnect every 8 hours or whenever the connection
is lost.

and of course i meant AUDIO out...
