First, the emac does have a flat screen.
The value of a Mac is a lot better than the value of a PeeCee. People are always complaining about how their computer breaks. You might notice that none of these people own Macs. Nearly every person who has bought a Mac loves it.
PeeCees are cheap because nobody is willing to pay very much for them (HMM I WONDER WHY?), but people are willing to spend much more on Macs.
