[DEMUG] eMac for free

After an "upgrade" to a MacBook-plus-large-display, an eMac (on of those 
all-in-one type Macs) in our family has become available for anyone with 
a new home for it.  I unfortunately neglected to note down the RAM/CPU 
specs (I assume it was a G4) before I totally zeroed out the 37G hard 
drive, and I haven't yet located the 2003 order invoices to see if I can 
find the info on them.  If you care about such specs on a free machine, 
and know of a way to get them from it if it has been wiped, fill me in 
and I'll check for you.

The only caveat is that several times last year the eMac started 
screaming (seemingly not associated with the hard drive) and had to be 
shut down, with subsequent rebooting showing no evidence of a problem. 
There was never any loss of data (other than unsaved Word docs), but not 
knowing what caused the problem (which was rare and couldn't be produced 
on demand), we can't offer any guarantees.

Let me know if you're interested.
