eMac why?
Is it just me or has apple made a bad move with the eMac. In itself its self the spec are as good as the iMacs but with a CRT rather than a LCD. Which is fine but it must of cost loads of money to develop for small market in education. Surely the best thing for apple to do is be argressive on the education market and make there iMacs/iBook cheaper or better yet all the range. So loads of kids/students would see how cool macs where. Comments please.

There's no significant costs for miniatureziation of components, like the G4 iMac needs. They fit a LOT of stuff into the little base of that thing.
I wonder ikf you can overclock an eMac
<strong>of cousre education is important, but why don't you price the imacs/ibooks at a lower price? Maybe even @ cost so loads of schools buy the and the kids ask thier parents for those cool computers @ school.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Obviously they don't lower the iMac's price because the LCDs are too much money right now. You think if they could have lowered the price they wouldn't? That's exactly why they raised the prices. And the iBook's price is fine.

Education is important. But all the little brat kids who are in K-12 have parents with fat pocketbooks that they can dig right into for a new Mac. Or at least generally, they do. And Apple can't just give a "selective" discount for K-12 students... they'd lose millions of dollars, because that's one of their target markets.
