Rig of the Day: Just an eMac

by Scott McNulty (Aug 29th, 2006)

Simplicity is this week's theme for Rig of the Day, since my last pick was so very popular. Today's rig is eMac. by *nathan. An eMac on a pedestal, what more could one want? Nothing more, nothing less. It looks to me like this is an installation in ...

Apple pulls Education iMac

by Dan Lurie (Jul 14th, 2006)

A little more than a week since Apple began offering a rock-bottom priced iMac configuration targeted at educational customers, the company has stopped offering the machine to anyone other than institutional buyers. The $900 replacement for the eMac ...

eMac LCD conversion hack

by Dan Lurie (Jul 5th, 2006)

This is cool. At my repair job, when someone brings in a broken eMac which turns out to have a bad analog board, we don't think twice about telling then that all is lost. Replacing an analog board on all but the newest machines would cost more than ...

by David Chartier (Feb 1st, 2006)

TUAW reader John Gaskell, whose rig we featured last week, noticed that, once again, the eMac has disappeared from both the online Apple Store as well as their edu store. Further, while I haven't seen the eMac product page in a while, I thought it ...

eMac getting phased out?

by David Chartier (Oct 12th, 2005)

Glancing at the Apple Store's main page, I noticed the eMac is missing from the party. I can find it if I search for it, but I don't see any eMac-related links in the store. Yes, Apple's eMac product page is still there, but it's nowhere to be found ...

Dealmac reports: As of now, July 25 at 6 pm ET, Amazon.com no longer sells any Apple Macintosh desktop or laptop computers other than the Mac mini. Some third-party vendors, like CompUSA and JR.com, are still listing Macs on Amazon.com, but none are ...

Taco time: mod Jay's eMac

by Jay Savage (Jun 21st, 2005)

Maintainability: lessons Apple could stand to relearn

by Jay Savage (Jun 21st, 2005)

If you've been wondering why I haven't had many bylines in the past couple of days (come on, you know you have), it's because my trusty eMac died and I've been struggling with repairs. And I do mean struggling. Replacing the clicking hard drive, ...
