There were various All-in-One PowerMacs, and a good many of them were wretched. Pretty much the entire 5200/5300 all-in-one line was terrible for various techy reasons that you can read about here if you're so inclined: http://lowendmac.com/tech/x200.shtml . A lot of schools had the 5200/100 LC models, and probably poisoned a good many minds for Macintoshes :) If you're looking for a good All In One, I'd stick with the 5400/5500 models, or go all the way to the G3 All In One. Much more capable computers, even if they don't quite have the charms of the small compacts or raw power of the later G3s/G4s I believe At Ease is still downloadable from Apple for free, although I might be mistakenly remembering updates.
