  • Thanks for clarififying your position Vinea More of a consensus seems to be that a mini-tower would be a good Mac, but doesn't fit in to SJs vision of changing the computer landscape into 'simple' AIO unit that works & is fun, from the nerdy …

    in Top Secret Features (leopard) Comment by drnat August 2006
  • Vienea, Quick question please - are you arguing from what you think is right for apple, or what you think SJ thinks is right for apple? Are they the same thing? Perhaps the middle ground here is a more expandable iMac -> conroe, 23" screen …
