That's how you know technology was inside them. I vaguely remember we had an eMac which had a combined CRT and computer inside it. Do not remember liking it

Your first sentence made me literally laugh audibly. At work.

Our computer lab when I was in high school was all those eMacs. I hated them and their single mouse button.

I definitely deleted the system drive from half of them at one point or another. It wasn’t hard, either, it was on the desktop.

Sure it didn’t actually delete anything on the drive, but it did force an intensive repair (they reformatted all of them, idk if there was another fix) :)
