I think this is good news. The emac doesn't have to be the fastest computer on the block, but it does have to be cheap to appeal to its target audience. And $780 for a 700mhz G4 is a good deal. $1150 for an 800mhz with a superdrive isn't bad either. Just having a G4 under $800 is a good move on apple's part.

Yeah, I agree. Kinda like the All-in-one powermac way back when. Give it fixed graphics and an un-upgradable G4 but have one or two PCI slots or even PCMCIA.
I never understood why Apple wouldn't have some expandability on the imac/emac arena. PC cards would be cheap, easily implementable, and wouldn't cut into desktop sales much if at all.
Go Apple!
Mabe this is how they plan to keep just schools ordering them.
Some estimates put broadband penetration at 20% of American homes; if that's the case, then one can bet that most Apple users have broadband. A dial-up modem shouldn't be necessary for most Mac users.
Besides, the consumer eMac can be purchased with a modem.
