Making the switch

I'm a first time mac buyer, but have used one for three years in school.

After much debate, and changing my mind from a PowerBook (which was way over of my budget), I've decided on an eMac.

The specs:
1.25 GHz Combo
512 MB RAM
Bluetooth Module
80 GB

I'm also getting the swivel stand and iSight. Is there anything else I should consider? (floppy, Apple Care?) Do you think this will serve me well for college?

Thanks.
