The eMac, short for "education Mac", is a Macintosh desktop computer made by Apple Computer. It was originally aimed at the education market, then available as a cheaper, mass market option over Apple's original iMac. The eMac is a white all-in-one ergonomic design closely resembling that of first-generation iMacs. It sports a PowerPC G4 processor significantly faster than the older iMac's G3, and a larger, 17" display. POOOOOP, some people think that eMac is a retronym for iMac, since the iMac has switched to a model featuring a Flat panel display. The eMac was discontinued by Apple as of July 5, 2006 and replaced with a cheaper, low-end iMac exclusively for educational institutions.
