	Apple's New iMac Full PM-box? Change here!

www.apple.com

$1200-1800, with optional SuperDrive and built in flatpanel. Geforce 2 graphics (32mb IIRC), 256 RAM. Good deal to me. Apple needs this to be a fairly big hit, or it'll look like the Cube all over again. Still, it's much cheaper than the Cube was and comes with a monitor and a faster G4. Cross your fingers...

Anyone looking into getting one?

Wiglaf:

I had planned on buying a new iMac no later than May 2002. This new design certainly is different (neat, but different nonetheless).

From a Civilization viewpoint, though, I hope the "iLamp" can play Civ II along with Civ III. Not sure how higher (700-800) mhz speeds would affect the older Civ II application. Not to mention the fact that I heard the new iMac will launch automatically in the 10.1 environment ... no mention of the Classic environment.

A 733G4 would be more than enough for CivIII and general gaming/office tasks, if that's what you're asking. Also, I believe the new iMac ships with the complete OSX package, which by default includes OS9 in the box for 'easy migration'. It's a placeholder for emulation, and a very good one at that. Apple has to include one or the other, not just plain ol 10.1.

You people who think the new iMac is ugly need to look again... it's different not ugly.

It's a work of art! Just because nobody has done it before (except for some prototype pictues I was e-mailed by my dark-side cousin) it's revolutionary.

I jumped for joy as it made the front cover of TIME... stared in awe at it and drooled. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm a Mac tower man I'd be all over it like a Gatesonian computer programmer over a strip club free entry coupon deal.

(Okay, I know these people are just as hard working as the rest of the world, just trying to put food on their families' table, etc, but they do work for the Empire, thus meaning I can make fun of them... right? )

At any rate, I like it, and Wiglaf, don't let anybody tell you any differently!

The references you see to the OS being 10.1 are just pointing out that, unlike the iMacs that shipped up until December, 10.1 will be the default OS and you will have to "switch startup disks" to boot in OS 9. Up until now iMacs came configured to boot into OS 9 and you had to install OS X yourself (the disk was included in the box, it just wasn't installed on the drive at the factory).

From what I have read, the iLamp looks better live than in photos. 10.5" diameter dome is bigger than it appears in the pics I have seen.
