Sunday, 6 January 2002 : "The big Apple announcement??"Found at mrbarrett.com:Apple's new thing, apparently: Apple's New Core [TIME Canada, apparently breaking an embargo. Bad newsmagazine!] ...the new iMac is built around a flat-panel display. But instead of taking up precious desk space like a typical flat monitor, the iMac's screen floats in the air, attached to a jointed, chrome-pipe neck.It has a G4 and will sell from $1299 to $1899. (The high end will have a DVD burner and iDVD! Not a bad price point for that...) There's a picture on their home page right now (for how long?). I'm not interested in one personally (I'm very happy with my Titanium) but it does look pretty cool. It sure doesn't qualify as 'where no PC has gone before', though, so maybe there's still something left under wraps even after this massive leak. Replies: 2 comments so far I like the look of the new iMac, but it would suffer some when actually hooked up to power and the rest of equipment, unlike in the marketing photos I've seen so far. It supports up to 1GB of memory. Got to like that. I have to say that the hype and/or leak issues don't bother/excite me either way. ;-) Posted by Randolph Penn @ 01/08/2002 10:17AM est oh man! do I want one of these! the combination of the tiny footprint, the RW CD drive, and the overall coolness (combined with severe affordability) are almost enough to lure me into facing the hassle of getting all my peripherals and other complicated issues to work with it......(and I thought the cube was tempting...)
