I've ordered an eMac for my mum just a few days ago :). It will replace
this horrible, constantly crashing piece of hardware she has right now:
Compaq Presario.
Most of her questions about Windows (in the short periods of time it
was working), were so Mac-oriented, that I deeply admire Apple for
their understanding the needs of a non-technical user, who can watch
movies, listen to the music, import digital camera images without even
knowing "folders" en "files" concept.
Anyway, I am very curious how it will be going... the eMac must arrive
this Sunday :p
