I'm holding out for a more expensive Mac with fewer features.....(thought I'd break the trend). Holding out for a new MacPro w/24" monitor OR, if the new iMac if it is really elegant and eye-catching. I am not sure if I'll load the purchase …

Quote: Originally posted by kim kap sol I heard rumors that Apple has produced a special very low-cost cardboard box edition of the iMac, JUST FOR YOU! Then must be the "pizza box" iMac so many have been discussing?

Bigger questions- 1. Will Phil sport a mock turtle? Will it be black, or "aluminum" colored? 2. Will Steve sabotage Phil's keynote presentation? Perhaps inserting slides of himself in bed with the new iMac, thereby drawing shrieks from Mac fai…
