Come on baby!!! This is my contribution to hitting 2000. Come one people...lets see it!!! 9:32 Eastern. Dammit, I still have to wait 'till 9:00 Pacific. I can't stand this!!!
<strong>Mother of God! In the iPhoto picture the Apple logo is chrome!!
Screed ...I don't why I'm so excited, but I feel I should be.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Ummm I know EXACTLY what you're thinking... But dare we say it? *Dare... Dare...
I mean Apple has used crome in their logos ALL the time... (ummm NOT) maybe they were just really lucky guessing it (yea yea)... could be but I doubt it... could they have had access to the new iMac look ummm not on your life, they woulda posted it fer sure (or at least teased about it)...
Gosh if what you and I are thinking becomes reality (and thats still a big if) then we're gonna have a ton of people to laugh at...
(* oh and sorry about that Blazing Saddles ref but I had to)
Presuming that this new iMac does indeed have a G4 and a burner of some kind and a DVD player (personally I don't need to burn that many DVDs... until I get an DVD-A player, heh) it has everything I need. And it completely superceedes this (very attractive) Cube + 15" LCD I have on my desk.
My wife said I could get one: as long as I sold all my other stuff first. Sigh.
BTW. Based on the photo with the Canon S110 Digital ELPH, that's a very tiny machine. I have an S110 and a Cube, and that new iMac is t.i.n.y. Cool)
As to what the keynote holds, we can only hope that the iMac is not the only major announcement. As great as it appears to be, many people have written to us expressing their concern that the new iMac alone does not fulfil the hype Apple created.
Erhm? didn't they say that we would get an iWalk? Or do the admit that they were faking it

Do you have a friend? Sell him/her the stuff for a penny, and agree to buy it back for the same price after you get the new iMac. Then tell your wife that it was too good of a deal to pass up.

"What?! You sold all that stuff and only got a penny?! Next time use eBay!!!"
Well, things my get weird at the keynote if it's anything like the dream I had last night.
I dreamt that Steve rolled in on a Segeway and then proceeded to do sort of a line dance pulling every one in their chairs (the chairs had wheels on them) around the stage. Also the surprise taped to the bottom of the chairs was a silver spoon. I can't figure that one out. Or for that matter the Segeway thing other than he invested millions in it and wants to hype his investment.
So don't be surprised if Steve scoots onto stage with a Segeway. I told you it was weird.
The new iMac looks pretty close to what was posted on macosrumors.com last week. The only real differences are how the monitor is attached and the base is a hemisphere instead of the more bubble-like shape sketched out on the rumor site.

[quote]Hi all,
Just registered today so can't post yet. I felt that I needed to be involved in this historic moment so thanxx doubly to Fran. As a Pc convert some 12 months ago, I can only say that for me Apple can do no wrong. The iMac IS superb, and the iMac II will be better. A lot of people are talking about the PM, I wish that¹s all I can say. It really means nothing to me other than i) its gorgeous ii)more than the wife will let me spend iii)something that I can always hanker after iv)totally pointless for the "common" user.
This doesn't stop me wanting one but, does it really impact on the daily life of Joe Bloggs how many triple back flips it performs? I call all those who do not have, do not want, do not have the cash for, are not allowed to buy to shut up and concentrate on what is THE most asthetically pleasing, legendarilly easy to use and no doubt THE current Best PC of this millenia.

<strong>Not too sure if the stream is actually saveable!! If it is, it'll be a massive file...2.5 hrs or so.

The keynote is a less massive 2 hours even in length.

Thanks, I needed that laugh.
<strong>Officially 2 hours left, gentlemen. And ladies, of course.</strong><hr></blockquote>
officialy in less in 2 hours , Steve will make his speech : hopes it woulb be a condensed speech and not a delayed one ...
