Macworld Disaster!
What a disaster! A new imac running 700 or 800 mhz with a 100mhz bus for $1800! And on top of that no G4 speed bump! Intel and AMD are blowing Apple away! And the other new hardware upgrade? A 14" screen on the ibook! Yea the ibook with an obsolete 600mhz G3! What a joke!!! What idiot would buy an Apple with a G3? The G4 is slow enough, but to buy a G3? You would have to be a retard! This new imac is going to go the way of the Cube! It looks so korny! It's a sad pathetic day for mac people!!!!

Yes, it could have been tons better MW.

Here's the sad reality ...
Apple @ 867MHz
Intel @ 2.2Mhz
It IS as if Apple is standing still.
This is the MacWorld that should've happened 6 months ago, to open 2002 with a top end still below 1Ghz is pathetic.

O .. ok ..
I thought Sept 11st was a disaster.
Pathetic?? why !? I think you sounds more pathetic.
I still wonder about Steve's wish to get an iMac to sub $500. Did he give up on that?
Journalism in America is really getting to me (as if that is anything new). Why can't jounalists ask real questions about technology rather than droning on like marketing wonks? Oh yeah, AOL and MS and Disney own everything!
MacW was not a disaster, just a revolution of hardware style over hardware substance. The prices show how much the G3 was and is allowing prices to be low compared to the G4. It really seems more than ever how terrible for Apple the development of the G4 has been.
Oh and can we please leave the land of white computers behind at some point? To me it is an obnoxious form of beige.
