same here, though i would like an update so i can purchase the current emacs as "refurbs" and at a discount... my parents don't need much of computing power, so i want to get them the cheapest usable mac...

I really really hope the rumor about the faster refresh rate on the displays is true. They look great to me, but getting better gaming performance would be a nice bonus.

I luckily played my cards right ordering the G5 before Panther was announced, and I'm trying to show some real constraint by waiting for updated displays....

I think new eMacs and IBooks will be announced in the next couple weeks, possibly by the end of October.
Not a major upgrade except USB 2.0.
It makes sense to have them ready for shopping season.
And hopeffuly current models will be available at significantly lower prices and Panther :)

the emac is a best buy in my book. at 1 gig or if they come out with a 1.25 it is a great buy. big screen,durable,good speakers built in,firewire-usb etc simply a great all in one and great starter mac. why they dont do colors is beyond me. we all know how great mac osx is. this has become a very solid machine for those on a budget.

Because they learned their lesson from the iMac and don't want to sit on a warehouse full of an unpopular color while having a shortage of another.

That colored plastic iMac look is cheap to me. I Like the current polycarbonate white for consumer, alu for pro. :D
