Geez... eMacs. The kind of machine that you have to stop every 15 minutes, get up and shout as loud as possible into a paper bag to restrain yourself from kicking the neck off the tube. I currently have a dead one in my shed, no idea why it's dead though... just went to swap the HD, now it won't power up. CRT clunks but nothing else comes to life afterward.
Not to mention they sound like wind tunnels when powered up. Vile machines! If their logic boards weren't such prime candidates for a CarMac (that is, a Mac in the dashboard of your car, playing MP3's and syncing wirelessly) i'd probably have let the thing burn years ago.
iBooks certainly aren't much better, but it doesn't feel so frustrating because you're not removing the entire freaking logic board, optical drive and everything in between to get at it, just lifting away the shell. That and they're much smaller, require relatively little physical labour and aren't as fiddly overall.
