eMac update soon?
It was reported by ThinkSecret on April 15 that they were going to hit 1 GHz any time now... a check of the Apple Store today shows shipping time on the combo drive model at 3-5 days, and the SuperDrive at 5-7 days. The SuperDrive had been listed as "same day" for some time.
Times are also extended at the Canadian Apple Store.
Waiting to possibly grab one for work here soon... a 1 GHz G4 and a Combo Drive for $999 sounds decent.![aSmile](/images/smilies/1smile.gif)
I think this beast still has some legs if they give it some juice and keep the price nice and low. Maybe we'll see another stealth rollout on Tuesday.

1Ghz, Combo, for $999 sounds good to me.
However, I want DDR SDRAM and a faster (read: 133Mhz) bus. Maybe in the topend Superdrive equipped model..
All Hail the 970!!!!!!

As much as I appreciate your need. I hate seeing more G4's announced. I hope Apple just quietly updates the page overnight, or something because AFAIAC the G4 is over. (I HOPE)
All Hail the 970!!!!!!
G4 will still be in the consumer machines for a least a year......or maybe transferring to the GOBI?
What's the deal? My company needs some e's for interns.
What kind of company is that may I ask???

ooooh, aaaahhhh!
But I bet he'd dig iTunes to no end and probably make serious use of the online music store!
He'd also get Photoshop Elements and play around too.
He's currently using some Toshiba laptop with Windows ME, no Ethernet, a broken CD, 120MB RAM, a 10GB hard drive, dial-up connection, etc.
The man needs to be Switched! And soon, bless his heart.

Oooh, what keen eyes you have.
Of course, with PPC 970 PowerMacs hitting the street two months from now, you'll be able to buy G4 PowerMacs at eMac prices pretty soon.

Let's not jump the gun too soon.
I'm looking forward to picking up an updated eMac in the immediate future. 1Ghz for $999. Hell yeah. Even better if it has a faster bus and DDR SDRAM.
However, what happens if the 970 release results in another Yikes situation, or worse, with the low and mid-range towers retaining the G4 and the top-end equipped with the 970? No need to answer this question here. There are numerous 970 threads already.

Hot damn.
I'm going to be getting one with my next paycheck.
YEAR of the eMAC
Ah, there's still some hope for Apple...
