I love my eMac, but I am starting to outgrow it. I am doing more and more music and when I start on my Digital Arts degree, it will just not be enough for me. I plan on giving it to my parents when I eventually get a G5 PowerMac. They curretnly use my old PowerBook G3, but want a full size computer. The eMac is a great option for your parents.
The only thing I would say is this:
If all they are doing is light web surfing and some email, why is their current computer unable to do this? You don't need a super powerful computer for this, and quite frankly if it ain't broke then don't fix it. :black:
I just hope you aren't planning on switching your parents to Mac because you want them to. Don't get me wrong, Macs are great systems...and while I am in no way accusing you of this, I think too many people try to "force" family members to switch from Windows when there really is no need for them to.
...ANYwho...back on topic, the eMac is a great option for what your parents would use it for. :black:
