the new Apple iMac - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

I disagree.  Apple, at least to me, represents that innovation can live in
today's computer industry, and that being different makes you ahead, not
behind of the crowd.  (And yes, I thought that BEFORE Apple's current
marketing campaign.)  Looks cool, but I want more information, and, as most
people go, they'll need reasons to want a $1.3K over a $600-$800 PC.

Anyone see the new Apple iMac unveiled today?  I like it.  Instant
classic. 
The best comment so far at work was that after its useful life it would be
much easier to convert into a fishbowl. Just turn upside down and fill :-)

Does look cool, but I'd like to touch one before committing one way or the
other. In my scheme of things, MacOS is about fourth or fifth choice.
