The latest go ip: eMac wants a nip/tuck

A leI ider, one of our primary sources for that contraband we like to call "A le rumors", is claiming to have the word on a new education Mac to replace the now defunct eMac. A arently the all-new eMac will be based around G5 proce ors and.... wait. That article's from two years ago! We can only conclude that when A leI ider brought us news of the G5 eMac that they were joking. Obviously, now they're being serious.

This latest rumor features several key points:

• There was an education based Mac in the past and there i 't one now. A leI ider co ects the dots using complex logic to predict that A le is making a new education Mac.
  
• Teachers and schools will be buying computers in the summer to be ready for the next semester. When people want to buy things, you should try to sell things.
  
• A le went Intel, so the new eMac will feature an Intel chip. Not a G5 or any of those cra y PowerPC things - who ever liked them anyway?
  
• The eMac's bulky enclosure was its most expe ive part. A le will therefore choose NOT to lose money on an expe ive, pointle and bulky enclosure for the next eMac. A tough choice to make.
  
• Thanks to that aggre ive rumor scrounging that A leI ider does on our behalf, they obtained the extremely ecific information that the new eMac *might* be available to the average co umer. But it also might not.

For extra entertainment, place the word "duh" after every bullet point.
