Yeah, I was actually about to buy an old iMac G5 (well, old as of today I guess) but I wasn't too sure.

This has me sold. I'm getting it on the 25th. (Payday).

Yeah. Go Apple.

EDIT: Built in iSight. A mouse with buttons! A remote! Ohh...

The intel things aren't going to come out for about another year as far as I understand. I need a computer now.

Even then it will be a gradual roll-out that won't finish until about halfway through 2007. The iMac might not be the last machine updated, but it's unlikely to be the first.

Never!

It doesn't look like anime's that big around here. Thank god. Some Japanese movies are pretty cool though.

And Japanese cigarettes are worse than their beer.

Even still, first generation machines on a new architecture will be....fun to say the least. Bugs and bleeding edge CVS software Smile

Yes, the standard first generation hardware issues will exist, but the software's been in development for five years. Smile
