Apple announces eMac

Thanks Merlin & Timan for this.. They noticed at the Apple website that they have released specs for yet another mac dubbed the eMac (where "e" means education).

From the site specs page:

For example, you asked for a 17-inch screen — while making it clear that you didn't want to have to buy new desks to accommodate a physically bigger computer.

We listened, we paid attention, and we learned. The eMac is the result. We addressed the concerns of educators right down to the tiniest detail. Take the placement of the serial number and Ethernet ID, for example. It may not be a big deal in the corporate world or in homes, but inventory management is an issue in schools and colleges. So to help schools manage inventory, the serial number and ethernet ID are conveniently located on the inside of the optical drive door. And, thanks to the all-in-one design, you have fewer asset management tags to keep track of.

The eMac will come with

700-MHz PowerPC G4 700-MHz PowerPC G4, Memory (PC100 SDRAM) 128MB 128MB, Hard disk drive (3) 40GB Ultra ATA 40GB Ultra ATA, Optical drive CD-ROM Combo (DVD-ROM/CD-RW) Graphics support NVIDIA GeForce2 MX with 32 MB of DDR RAM, FireWire Two 400-Mbps FireWire (IEEE 1394) ports (5); 8 watts shared, USB Three USB 1.1 ports on computer (shared on two 12-Mbps controllers); two USB 1.1 ports on keyboard among other things it will not have a 56k Modem.
