[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1009255"] Oh, they all did the usual assortment of things a typical Mac user does (email, IM, surfing, music), though you're right that their main focus was graphic arts apps (Multi-Ad Creator, Quark Xpress, CS3) -- but this is no different than millions of small-biz and home Macs, so I'm not sure the question is really relevant. Ironically I was working in a Mac repair shop when the Sentinel ordered a huge number of Emacs (this was a while ago of course) and then spent the following year slowing having some 300+ of them fixed (they had leaky capacitor issues as I recall) under warranty. That was by far the largest single-customer QC issue I ever saw. The Sentinel was pretty unhappy with Apple about that, but it didn't last long -- the G5 iMacs eventually came out and all the eMacs were replaced with them. By now I'm sure they've gone all-Intel.
