New iMacs Get Good Compliments and Superior Rating From PC Magazine
HAVE A DAY.
<--- Quote by Former U.S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt
"And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17Tags: None

Looks. That is all to it, looks.
And I seen better at colorcases.com for PCs.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

800MHz processer? Come on.... it is also based on antiquated 133MHz architecture correct me if I am wrong. And still uses SDRAM.
BTW, the whole article was talking about how retro that piece of junk is. What a waste of money. Belongs in an elementary school like all other Macs.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

Dell Dimension 4300 gets the same editor rating, but is cheaper and faster.
Have a nice day."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Thank you Asher for helping me prove my point....For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

"innovative design, attractive hardware complement, and excellent software bundle"
"one of the best ergenomic designs we've seen"
"a fan that is so whisper quiet, users probably won't hear it running and can work in blissful silence"
"image was clear, with no color shift" etc. etc. etc.
These may seem like small things, but they really add up to the most comfortable, pleasant computing experience available. Comfy comfy comfy.
Plus they did a price comparison and for dvdr and lcd and such and such pcs were more expensive (albeit with a slightly faster processer)."mono has crazy flow and can rhyme words that shouldn't, like Eminem"
Drake Tungsten
"get contacts, get a haircut, get better clothes, and lose some weight"

PCs have much more than a slightly faster processer.
This new Mac is built upon completely outdated hardware with some new things that try to cover the antiquated nature of the whole system itself.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

Mind you they also say:
One design touch we don't like: The power switch is also located along the back. It's an awkward position, requiring the user to lean forward and feel blindly for the button each time. A more useful spot would have been on the front of the base or on the screen.
Another drawback is the rinky-dink keyboard and mouse that most Apple computers have been saddled with for years. Though they're now white instead of black, they're still far too flimsy for a finely engineered computer. The keyboard feels insubstantial, as though it would fall apart after a bout of heavy typing. The mouse has an optical sensor but still has only one button. It's a shocking oversight, guaranteeing that most users will go out and buy a better mouse.
As with other all-in-one designs, upgrade possibilities are limited.
The major drawback: There's no way to upgrade to a more powerful graphics solution should you want one down the road.
And I also seriously (very seriously) doubt a DVD-R and LCD systems on PCs were more expensive. Considering you can get those components for very cheap, far cheaper than Apple's store, if you build your own system especially."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

For example, check out this IBM NetVista M Series M42 out: http://commerce.www.ibm.com/cgi-bin/..._US&scrfnbr=73
It's $1,519.00 USD.
Pentium 4 2.4GHz (512KB L2 cache, 533MHz system bus)
256MB DDR RAM
Windows XP Professional
64MB ATI Radeon 7000 AGP 4X
15" LCD monitor
40GB 7200rpm HD
16x DVD-ROM
10/100 Ethernet card
2-button mouse
Standard full-sized keyboard
Far, far better deal than the iMacs...
If you're really bent on the DVD-R, it's $195: http://www.consumerdepot.com/products.asp?id=DVR-103BA"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Cloud9, don't patronize me. I know all about MHz.
It's stupid to assume MHz is speed, it's also stupid to assume it's not speed. It's a major factor in speed. CPU speed is determined by MHz * IPC (Instructions Per Clock), for the most part. Memory bandwidth and latency also plays a part, but the G4 doesn't compete there either (you can have 4.2GB/s on high end PCs, vs 1.0GB/s on Macs for bandwidth).
The Pentium 4's clockrate is abnormally high, and its IPC is lower than the G4s and Athlons, but MHz * IPC is still way, way higher than the G4 and also higher than the Athlon's.
The 2.4GHz P4 totally and completely dominates a Dual 1GHz G4 in every benchmark thrown at it (even Photoshop), so how badly do you think a single G4 700 or 800 will do?"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
