droooooooooooooollllllllllllllllll. I'm with you--it looks awesome.
*I don't know about awesome, it looks kinda cute though.Got a G4 myself.
*Love iMacs. Have been lusting after one for lo, these many years, but alas for work purposes have always had to be compatible with the 90% of the pop. that operates on a PC platform. Sigh! Next lifetime I'm coming back as a graphic designer who wouldn't be caught dead using a PC!
*Step 1: Buy one anyway; everyone will lust after it along with you.Step 2: Buy Virtual PC.Step 3: There you go. You are beautiful AND compatible.I'm considering the DVD burner model...did
*Virtual PC poses some of its own problems - vast resources, slow, etc. The work I do involves authoring in a very PC-specific environment (though the techies I work with are trying to resolve that little discrepancy), so I'm just SOL for the next little while.So, Did, the really important issue: What colour iMac are you leaning towards. I'm in love with the graphite, though the pure white one is also very tempting...
*Sandra — I don't have to wait 'til the next life. I AM a graphic designer, who wouldn't be caught dead using a PC!
*No, no, dear - the NEW iMac - all white; go to Apple's web site. The new model was announced this past Monday. 15" LCD display on a swing arm connected to the CPU, which is a 10.6" hemisphere. 700 MHz G4, 256 mb ram, 40 gig HD, CD-RW/DVD combo drive, $1500. For another $300 you get the 800 MHz G4 and a SuperDrive - burns CD-R's, CD-RW's, AND DVD-R's. A year ago, a G4/SuperDrive machine cost $$3500 without a monitor!did
*That's right, Tracer, rub it in! Sighhhhh and here I am, specing out yet another beige soon-to-be dinosaur! Grrrr... Well, at least I'm going for the LCD monitor.
*ohhhh dear! I think I am in love! Just watched the QuickTime movie - that is too cool for words! I just might quit my job and run away to a desert island with the new iMac! (but only if it's available in graphite!)
*I hope they are reliable, it looks like they could be a bear to work on, or even to up grade for that matter. Probably still light years ahead of a micro$oft machine.Mr. T.
*There's a DIMM slot in the bottom for more RAM, next to a port for an AirPort wireless network card. Other than that, no easy access to the innards. Apple hardware is much higher quality than most WinTel machines, though; that's one advantage to not being a price-ruled commodity item! I'd imagine that in a few years people will figure out how to put in a bigger HD in any case. Unfortunatley, this machine will not lend itself well to conversion to fishtank - search online for MacQuarium...did
