1996/97 maybe? Cluttering up my office/lab/computer room is an Aptiva
166mhz machine, with the neat black tower and black monitor with the
drive pod below it. It's a non-upgradeable system, a gift to one of my
kids from a grandparent, and has been replaced with a more modern
generic pc. You should be able to find on on epay if you're patient. I
want to save this one for the kid when he gets older he might want to
have his first computer, with it's antique windows 95, cd rom drive
(with no writing or dvd reading capability), and miniscule 2.5gb hard drive.

At least it's almost stackable...the roundy styling had not set in yet.
  I have no idea what my dad will do with his Emac when it gets slow,
perhaps it could turn into art, hang two of them on the wall (screen
facing the wall) next to each other?
