[QUOTE="dantesflame, post: 14231"] I tried this in switcher forum but no one replied - will be more exhaustive here. I'm considering buying a 1ghz e-mac (saving up at moment). Done a fair amount of on-line research and am aware of the (what I hope) is old raster switching problem and also disparity between 128ram supplied and the needs of the o/s. My main concern is that it doesn't seem as if some of the problems documented with various mac machines were just anomolies but were resulting in some service shops reporting up to 30% recall/repairs (figures and info gleamed from various pro-mac and technical sites) and this seems to fly in the face of what Apple is supposed to be all about. I had to decide against the G4 towers after reading consistent reports about noise problems. Decide against the Imac as an entry level computer as the monitor is integral and I'm not happy with Apples swap out policy or even its approach to defining its policy with dead or stuck pixels. Sort of only left with emac's as a way in that's an affordable risk as I understand the raster problem was eventually tracked down and shouldn't be an issue anymore. Would appreciate it if somone could re-assure me that an E-mac is worth me risking my hard-earned pennies on. Would really like to give Mac's a fair chance - but I need some reassurance. Particularly recent switchers - would u do it again ? Cheers Dante :) [/QUOTE]
