Typing this from the Walt Whitman NY Apple Store.

There is a G5 on a rotating platform in the window on display, it's the only one they have.

Stunning, looks like a high end amplifier, it has the nicest "back" of a computer I've ever seen.

    Congrads! You must feel like a pilgrim making a pelgramage to the Sacred G5's Temple of Holiness!



    or something like that.



    So no G5s available for purchase, and no "real" demo. Darn.

    I heard a song on the radio yesterday which is an old re-hash of MC Hammer's "You Can't Touch This" called "I Touched It" by Tricky Nicky... err... your title just reminded me

    Boca Raton Apple Store has one. They didn't put it in the window but in the G5 section. Stunning. Case is beautifully built. The latch worked fine on the side. We took the inside cover off and the fans all went on full power. Put it back on and they slowed down to a whisper. A work of industrial art. Next week they expect a whole bunch of them.

    It kind of makes one think of " 2001 A Space Odyssey " when the apes touch the monolith ( you'll notice in the movie later on the astronauts on the moon do the same thing ).

    Just got back to the office, as far as it being good for me, yeah my eyes rolled back in my head (lol)!!



    But seriously, the G5 is really stunning, all the photos you've seen don't do it justice.

    It exudes class, not like the Alienwares & Voodoos of the PC world.



    What's Apple gonna do to top this?

    Maybe it's just an empty shell, left over after the rumored recall of G5s with door problems. An empty shell with its door epoxied into place so it won't fall off.
