I ordered the 17" G5 iMac with 512 MB RAM (1 DIMM), 80 GN HDD, Apple Extreme Card and BT on October 28th. Hope it gets here soon! I Can't wait. At the present time I am using a 700 MHz 15" FP woth 256 MB RAM. The only word I have for it is...S..…

I don't have much to add to this discussion. I switched from a PC to an iMac because I wanted what a PC didn't offer anymore - simplicity and good looks. They still don't as far as I am concerned. The AIO concept is what won me over to Mac and th…

The idea of a headless Mac like tgis is good, but... The projected unit seems to be very close to the iMac minus the display. Granted, it has features of the PM but it is scaled back to a single processor which people may equate with the iMac. Al…

I have the original 12" PB (867 MHz, 256 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD) and I love it! It's easy to carry around and looks great. I give it my vote as the best PB Apple has ever made! The screen is bright and clear. I have no difficulty reading anything on …

I have used both one button and multi button mice and feel confident with either one. When I first switched to Mac a couple of years ago, I must admit that I missed the multi button mouse used on Windows machines. However, it didn't take long to g…

I've used Netscape 7.2 for a few weeks now and find is does seem to run a little faster than Safari, but not a whole lot faster. It does have some quirks, however. Sometimes, just moving the scroll wheel on my mouse send the page to the very botto…

I've had a chance to use Netscape 7.2 for a while now and I like it. I find it stable and very reliable. It is much faster at downloads and page updates and changes than Safari. I've also tried Mozilla, Firefox and Camino and found Netscape to be…

Sorry about the name. I guess I have been thinking of the Olympics a bit. All I can say is, I hope IBM gets their delivery problems solved and Apple can get onto the business of selling the world's best computers. I wonder if the G4+ chips will d…
-
It looks like the date may be delayed again. I heard that IBM is unable to deliver enough chips on time. Perhaps Apple should consider the capabilities of its suppliers before contracting with them. If they can get the dual core chips from Freest…

I voted no. I agree with Aurora, JCG and maffrew that there is not enough bang for the buck in this new iteration of the iMac. My 17" 1 GHz iMac will do me well. Why should I spend the money when the only upgrade in the new iMac is the G5 proces…

I've changed my feelings about the new iMac. Apple should revise their lineup. The eMac is a decent entry machine and should be marketed as such. The iMac should be positioned between the eMac and the PM. The new machine should be headless so th…

That Sony 13" looks interesting, but the orice looks a little steep. I still like the Apple computers and feel that they should consider dropping the 12" PB and make a 13" PB instead.
-
Precisely the way I feel. That's why I said that Apple may shift more emphasis to the eMac and bring out some serious reworking. The flat panel monitor would be a start, along with an update of chips - possibly to a G5 (although that would have to…

I missed it as far as the G5 in the new iMac is concerned. However, I think Apple will stay with the AIO concept for the iMac. A headless iMac seems to be on a lot of wish lists, though. I also agree that Apple needs a computer for new switchers …
-
I agree - Apple needs a 17" WideScreen monitor. Not everyone wants a 20" or larger, nor do they have room for them. Apple will miss another boat if they don't put a 17" monitor in their lineup.

According to the cover of "that" magazine, the iPod will look more like the original iPods in that it will have the scrolling wheel surrounded by buttons for menu, etc. They will probable announce that ut will also be available with a 60 GB HD. As…

I have to agree that the new iMac will not be the machine tghat many are hoping for. Due to heat problems, I think Apple will stay with the G4 and crank it up to 1.5 GHz. They may also up the RAM to 512 MB. The HD will most likely remain at 80 GB…
-
I didn't mean to imply that the AIO is the only consumer unit Apple should make, There is room for other alternatives and Apple should consider expanding its consumer lineup. I might even consider a "headless" Mac if it were a small CPU case, much…
-
I wholeheartedly agree. I am satisfied with an AIO. I don't need the oversized computer that sits under my desk. A simple machine is all I want and need. The eMac might be a nice machine, but I prefer an LCD - that's why I like the iMac.

Futuremac, I think you'll like the 17"PB. The battery life depends on the use of the PB. If you are running heavy duty apps like photoshop, the battery life will be minimal. If you use it for surfing th web or word processing the life will be …
