>eMacs are now selling for about $800 including everything (monitor 
>also) and then you own a machine that runs thru crashes of 
>applications (which are rare themselves), doesn't accept or trigger 
>viruses or spyware, is user-friendly and lasts forever (I'm still an

>At least if you were going to list the ways to deal with this

>It's irresponsible journalism to fail to actually and and completely 
>discuss issues.  We can watch TV for adulterated chatter. 
>Newspapers should be about educating people about options and 
>choices they have. Your Sunday paper failed to do that.
