In reply to several messages on this subject I would say:
To some extent it depends on your needs. I have used both an iMac and=20=
now an eMac. I prefer the latter because of my poor eyesight and I=20
found it worthwhile having the larger screen and though I agree that it=20=
is heavier this is not aa problem for me as I don't have to move it=20
about!! So I would say, if you want to move it about and you don't=20
mind the smaller size screen, go with the iMac otherwise go with the=20
eMac.
My 2=A2 worth!!
