I am planning to get a mac to replace my pc for everyday use/work stuff and leave the pc for games only. My question is this. Other than one having an LCD, and other having a CRT display what are the diffrences between emac and imac? I'm mainly interested in net surfing, word prosessing/spreadsheets, and generaly getting my feet wet before I go buy a more expensive system like a dual cpu power mac.
