I know plenty of students who will look at the emac and sy 'stupid 
name - but it can run maya ... '

I think this the 'Macintosh Apple had to make' ;-)
... otherwise they'd screw their education marketshare.

The price point is sooo important for business also. I was 
planning on swapping all my office imacs (13) with Dells. I 
17"monitor and box can be got for $18-1900.

The flat screens are way too expensive for office machines, but 
these eMacs look fantastic. Like the apple swivel stand too. ;-)

Interesting to note they only use x2 AGP on their GF2mx, and 
1280x960? What kinda weird resolution is that?

Cheers,

Tobes.
