Made for an easy way to chuck them into dumpsters

[phoenix79]

Actually had one of those handles break on me once. Wasn't pretty

Come to think of it, mine too. Maybe that's where I got my infernal hatred for Macs from (these things froze all the damn time, so we had to get a paper clip and manually reset them).

The school I work at over the summer *still* uses eMacs to this day. I can't wait until they go away, so I don't have to haul the 40lb machines all over the place.

2 days ago, my buddy and i go to the local apple store. it was packed, and every single person looked like they just walked out of an apple commercial, trying their best to conform to the non-conformist mold. anyway, i walk over to the software shelf (note singular) and lo and behold, 10 different Sim games, Civ4, CoD2 and Lego Star Wars. I turned to the Dane Cook-wannabe "genius" and asked him "where's oregon trail?" answer: "is that a PC game? cuz we can do windows games better than PC's"

i didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

iMacs, now called eMacs; I sure hope they EOL'd those pieces of crap

 

[sniperruff]

iMac's were popular for one reason: simplicity and size.

if you think about it, windows 98 wasn't exactly that stable either.

the mouse does suck though.

Yup, I don't think you can buy eMacs anymore.

Windows 98 SE rocked. Compared to ME and some other OSes, it was great. I used it up until 1 year after the release of XP when I fully abandoned 98SE.

Ah, iMacs only bring back memories of them trying to get files out of the computer in Zoolander!!~

I have an eMac, they are not bad machines, though quite outdated now. Lightyears ahead of the "flavored" iMacs.

My first interaction with an iMac was at a Computer City. They had it sitting in a little kiosk, I opened the cd-rom drive on it and popped in a demo cd that was sitting on the kiosk. I found out why it was sitting there as soon as it started to spin up. It vibrated the whole kiosk and made a horrid buzzing noise.

"yeah i like this little handle on the back here, so you can use it as a BOAT ANCHOR!"

I remember when I had to use the imac that I used to play nanosaur when I asked for permission... Apparently when my whole class playing Nanosaur when a substitute was supervising, another teacher walked in, told everyone to go back to class, and then got the computer administrator to remove all Nanosaur games...

I also think we also got the substitute fired too.... Hmm...
