More than likely it does. The only value added by ordering RAM from the factory is that they install it for you. But when places like MacMall offer "free" memory, like my old iMac came with, it makes sense for them to asses a fee for installation.…

Why no reset button? When they made it into a hole, that was bad enough, but eliminating it altogether? yeesh...

It just makes sense to me to keep the old guy around for a little while longer. Remember how long it took to get rid of the classic mac AIO form factor? This one:[code] ________ | | | | | | | _| |_______| I t…

I find that unless you're actually printing photographs on photo paper all the time, HP gives better quality for the money. The photosmart printers are really good. You can pick up a 1115 for under 200 easy. I find HP a little more reliable, but …

Alright, but how do you do it without sacrificing design integrity and durability, "gloming" on more to the back of the display (such as a sensor), etc, without increasing the price. $1800 is quite a leap up from the previous iMac, wouldn't you say?

Front is better, definately.

1. Use it as the hub for my new digital audio workstation 2. Regain a significant portion of my desktop back by throwing out a CDRW drive, USB Hub, and thier damn spaghetti cables. 3. Post to AppleInsider (duh!)

If having a bigger screen is important to you, I'd wait a little to see what comes down the pike. However, if you can work with that screen (like a 17" monitor, so it's not that bad) I say get the iMac and save yourself some money.

If apple had put faster bus speeds for the processor and HD, it may have driven the price point beyond what it is now. Give it some time. The original iMac shipped with ATA/33 fer God's sake. Anyway, next revision gets a speed bump and improved i…

It would be a phallusMac!

[quote]Originally posted by applenut: I also have a strange feeling a 17 inch model will be released at MWNY. I was hoping it had ATA/100 so I could stick in Maxtor's 130 GB or 160 GB HD but ATA/66 can't read those drives 17 inch? Maybe …

I'll probably wait a couple revisions B like I did with my current iMac. The biggest thing is USB 2.0. they include this in the new iMac? I have to say that I thought the design sucked when I first saw it, but when I saw Steve move the displa…

Got it. Then go with the Monsoon. They've been the best I've heard so far. Those flat-panel speakers are really good at re-constructing the fine details.

Since you're an musician, I'd like to ask: Why not get studio monitors? They reproduce sound more accurately, albeit at a higher price...

Ah, here's the rub. Mac OS X can HANDLE professional audio, but the hardware needs to be capable too. Current iMacs, iBooks, TiBooks, and (I think) G4's, only handle 44.1khz, 16bit through the built-in sound on the MOBO. You have to get an …

Mac OS X is capable of processing audio at 32bit, 96khz, more than enough for DVD authoring (24bit, 96khz). It will do 5.1 aurround, and yes, has very low latency. Very good for audio.

I'm having chest-pains! I just ordered my iBook 800. They sure as hell better not release one in January or cut off Steve's hairy gumdrops myself.
