OK, so the Computer Spectrum has an eMac (combo drive) special for 
$599.  With that, you do need more memory; oddly, the Crucial.com 
price for 512MB is up to $140.  Also, the swivel stand is pretty 
key, and 802.11b is handy if you like wireless.

Of course, the special pricing also makes one believe that they're 
clearing old inventory.

Oh: the 'Spectrum also has the 12-inch iBook for $899.  That also 
wants more RAM for $100 (why cheaper than for an eMac?).  My guess 
is that they're going to come out with a slightly better iBook soon; 
the stock hard drive is only 30 GB, and anything less than 60 GB 
these days is pretty silly.
