I felt the exact same way about mine. I ended up trading it for a dual 450 MHz PowerMac G4 and a Nintendo GameCube with a bunch of games and some accessories. After replacing the graphics card in my PowerMac with a Radeon that supports Quartz Extreme, it's basically as fast as the eMac. Plus, with the GameCube, I never feel any desire to do heavy gaming on the PowerMac. I can game on the Cube, and the games are modern ones with awesome framerates instead of the choppy-at-best computer games I can play on my Mac. There are some that are just fine on my Mac but many are pretty slow. I don't care though.
