Hi Mar, eMacers:
The bottom edge of my iMac's screen (propped up on the handle thingy
on the bottom) is about 5", so the eMac at 4" would be a bit lower,
but I think would be useable. My iMac (and the eMac if I get it) sits
on an open desktop so access to the ports isn't (and wouldn't) be a
problem. The tilt and swivel would be nice to have, but I don't think
it justifies the $60 cost. Being able to buy Mac gear locally isn't
available to me as the nearest CompUSA/Apple Store is about 75/85
miles away, so I'll probably stick to mail order.
