Go for it! They are great!
Althogh I hear the eMac ain't to good.
In any case, remember RAM is the key. Anything over 128 and your in heaven.

yeah i know, the prices of RAM on apple site is disgusting, i will go for the cheaper computer option and then buy some more memory via Crucial.I have been thinking about that.
BTW
Has anyone noticed how the "cartels" havn't told Sun to add this DRM shit to their systems? I went to their website today to check on hardware prices...its not all bad i suppose if i install linux.
I think as this DRM stuff matures we are going to see alternatives crop up allowing us to still be free.
So far i see three possibly 4 options.
1. Apple
2. Sun microsystems
3. China/India
4. Buying second hand pc's for the rest of our lives. Just think of the boon the second hand market would have.

I have 128MBs of RAM on my iBook and I'm now running Mozilla, Mail, iTunes, iPhoto and AppleWorks at the same time perfectly! I can't even imagine what more RAM would do other than take me to heaven as you said ! I'll upgrade it later though when I manage to save some money :(

Ya like I said, OSX Jagwyre is much better about it.
But a friends computer is still on 10.1.5 and it tends to slow down and lag up every once in a while. Also, I booted up photoshop or a similar app. and it asked to close some extra applications to make room in the RAM.
The thing is that her iMac is a 600Mhz G3, which is plenty to handle OSX. My mom runs it on a 333Mhz G3 and my Bro on a 233Mhz iMac! And I never get any errors of this kind on there (granted they run slower over all, but they don't hang or report memory errors). The only diffrence besides Mhz in those other machines is that both the 233 and the 333 have 256MB of RAM. And that seems to have made all the diffrence.
So that's the only reason I make that cavet. I was lucky and scored a terrific deal for a full gig of RAM when I bought my computer, so I have never EVER had to suffer anything similar to the above problems.
But from what Panos, and other tell me. Jagwyre runs fine with around 128MB, so I'm assuming Apple fixed this issue. Now i gotta convince my friend to spend the 60 bucks for Jag
