My eMac is such a workhorse I can't justify getting rid of it either. It is just as functional (software-wise) as my Macbook Pro as long as I'm not using Handbreak or something.
Right with you, Charles. My eMac got me through college; who cares that it's ridiculously slow compared to contemporary machines? IT DUAL BOOTS WITH OS 9, BITCHES.
You must have a lady's hand, because I've tried typing on my mom's Mac...and it's impossible for my relatively thin and bony fingers to hit just one key at a time.
Desktops don't grow old. A good desktop computer is composed of parts purchased continually over time for several years.
I believe the pieces in the machine I'm now posting from span a total of 6 years, the newest being the power supply and the oldest being the optical media drives.
Too bad Charles is missing out on Snow Leopard.
And though I wouldn't want to use it, I'm impressed that the eMac is still in service. ~1 GHz G4, ATI graphics, whoo.
And @6 - it's 1.25GHz damit!
