I'm only dropping this on you as a favor to him, since he can't seem to get registered at AI. I'm not vouching personally for or against it, and take it for what it's worth.

EDIT: Cutting and pasting from Chatmade me think the keyboard was wireless, but it isn't. My apologies.



EDIT 2: Apparently I can't cut and paste. Three models only.



EDIT 3: Sorry, missed the DVD model. There are four models.

    smells like shit.



    but if it's true, 14.1 is a big freaking mistake, and not worth the trouble. Come to think of it, it may be true.

    Yeah i was there in chat aswell... CompUSA said he couldn't register for an account here.



    My first thought is what on earth is MouseMac?



    This is the best iMac 'inside' info that I have seen so far.. Not too far fetched and with some unheard of features.



    I believe it.

    not necessarily true. 14.1 at the ibook lcd's resolution is pretty decent. it's about screen real estate more than actual screen size.

    Do we have to resurrect the pre-emptive post-Macworld piss thread already?



    Reasonable specs. Sorry about that.

    I noticed that too but it seems to just be a typo. The "Mac" part should be with OS X

    Forgive my ignorance of ATI, but how does the Radeon 7000 stack up against, say the original Radeon or a GeForce 2MX or 3?

    It sounds right on the mark. That would essential be my Pismo just double speed four times ram, I-wont-even-calculate-double the HD at half the price.



    It would be good for the iMac (not saying its the deal). But this really can´t be all.

    Everyone go to #OrangeInsider on irc.webchatting.com or go to <a href="http://www.orangeinsider.com/chat.html"; target="_blank">http://www.orangeinsider.com/chat/</a>;



    Much better chat and if you use an IRC client, then you can cut and paste.

    Think about it, if the iMac was going to have a G3 and a 14.1" LCD screen, would they be posting all these messages creating hype on their website? I think not.

    A 14.1 inch LCD is FAR better than the current screen. The iMac would NEVER get a 15 inch this time round unless Apple axed the 15 inch ASD

    This is the iMac. There are other things.

    There. I've got confirmation that this is what COMPUSA Chimp is telling me. The way it stands now (4 models 1 CRT and 3 LCDs) is what he told me.



    Personally, I cannot vouch for it, but I just thought I'd pass it on.



    FWIW, it sounds about right, IMO.
