Re: Dad would like to purchase this computer.

If you want to buy new that's probably as good as you'll ever get 
(and yeh it is a pretty good deal) will be good for at least 3 years 
worth of normal computer usage


if your not hung up on new suggest you look at the S/H market  G4 G5 
s/h prices have crashed to almost nothing



Yep get the extra memory (and the extended warranty)
that's only $100 more than we sold off  a dozen 3 year old used eMacs 
a few months back (though they had 768MB ram)


we were very happy with our little lab of emacs  - had no major 
hardware trouble with them in their 3 years





Happy Australia day to you all,

Dad would like to purchase one of these eMacs. Does anyone know if 
there is a way to get a better computer for the money. He's not too 
keen on going second hand or ex demo. I have recommended that he go 
for the ram upgrade offer if he goes ahead.

I've had an eMac for a couple of years and it has been a great 
little machine after a ram upgrade and the addition of an external 
hard drive. Dad doesn't have very sophisticated needs. Email and web 
access off dial-up. A bit of word processing etc and some mucking 
about with iPhoto. No plans to burn DVDs.


I would really appreciate any advice that any of you have time to offer.

Cheers
Paul
