Hm... I guess I will look more seriously into them then.. Im a power user so it's hard to advise someone to get something small like that :)

Just remember her needs. You require more power than she will. My guest she could use a basic system to do e-mail, word processing, iPhoto, and surfing the internet. Just to name a few things.

Yep that's pretty much it.. it's just so so hard *grin* I know she'll be pleased no matter what though. Do you think the default 256 that comes with the eMac is ok, or should I upgrade her to 512? I have a gig in mine so I don't remember what it was like to run 256 :)

I'd say may as well go to 512 - I think you can get a deal on that if you ask

indeed, we did get the joke. But the bigger the fake images get, the funnier it is. I think at least....up to a point anyways.
