iTower
We have iMac, iPod, eMac etc...
Hmmmm, Power Macintosh G4 doesn't sit to well now does it? And yes, it mentions the fact Apple are STILL using G4's for what seems like a lifetime!
Will the naming convention be changed for the tower macs this summer?
Any ideas for new names? <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />
Xmac, Pmac etc.

Only if you are very, very young.
The name will stick around for a while. The G4 was added to differentiate it from the Power Macintosh G3, although it's fairly moot by now.
Granted, having said all that. PowerTower does have a certain charm.
Power*** = professional
e*** = education (don't doubt me, the eMac was designed for education, not consumers)
xServe= who the hell knows.
<strong>How about "Xtower"?</strong><hr></blockquote>
Too much like XBox if you ask me.
how about power macintosh apollo? i kind of like it.
(Sorry for the expletive)
Dobby.
800 MHz Power Mac G4 ($1600)
60 GB HD upgrade ($50)
Super Drive upgrade ($200)
Pro Speakers ($60)
15" Flat Panel ($600)
$300 rebate
Total: $2210
So you're paying a $300 premium to be upgradeable, $600 if it wasn't for the rebate. Is it worth it? Maybe. You are getting a faster bus speed than on an iMac, and you can add a second display, a better graphics card, a processor upgrade, USB2, FW2, etc later on.
