*Covet.*

A bunch of headchoppings @ work today, but so far my I'm unaffected. Keeping a low profile and impressing my boss with my stats.

*also covets*

Best of luck keeping your head on your shoulders there.

That is a very nice looking box. I currently have a teeny tiny shuttle which is about the same size (but without the handle). It sits happily next to my eMac.

Falcon's done some gorgeous work with both that version and the original fragbox. I think they've become one of the best 'out of the box' builds for Shuttles. :D

I'm sorry about the eMac, though. Much as I love OSX, every single one of those I ever saw at Wooster ended up on my repair bench three or four times a year.

I haven't had any problems with it so far, but I dread the thought of ever having to ship it off for repair work.:( Hopefully i'll never have to.

*nods* The biggest problems were with the analog boards and CRTs. If you haven't seen that, you're probably fine. *crosses fingers, knocks on wood*

"It is a terrible thing to live in fear. That's what it means to be a slave."

I remember the fearful days of headchopping at the dot-com I worked at in 2000-2001. My department was never in danger but it was a depressing thing to see people leaving all around.

Yeah, the same was true about G3 iMacs, which is basically what an eMac is. Then again, pretty much any computer, PC or Mac, tossed to the fates that is the great masses, will suffer stress, strain, and torture beyond what would otherwise be reasonable.

It's the same reason to never buy a used car from Hertz or Enterprise.

One of our people broke down crying yesterday when she had to process a term for someone who was her best friend inside the company. Heavy stuff.
