At first I thought it was hideous but now, not so much.

So why not just have one huuuuuuuggggee, 131 sub-topic thread?!

This is an iMac forum. We're discussing the new iMac. If someone wants to start a new thread about their bondi 233mhz cd-rom drive failing I wouldn't have a problem with it.

Some of you Mac dorks have this thing about locks. It's a condition I believe that is curable. Just pull the stick out of your ass and you'll feel much better.

That clip of the rotating iMac is just surreal. You have the Asian photojournalists snapping pictures like it's Madonna. The background sounds are like something out of a David Lynch movie. It's all fun though.

No, it's those people who need attention and try to get it by starting new threads all over. Just imagine I would start a new thread for every thing I have to say. But some people do exactly that.

There is are two vivid discussion about the graphics features of the new iMac. Why not join it ? Give me ONE reason why not to join an existing discussion about this very topic.

This was first time footage of the iMac and I didn't want it get buried in a thread that's twenty pages deep. Just wanted to share it with others and maybe convince people like myself that's it's not as awkward looking as I initially thought. I'm not a post whore like some people, so please be quiet. Mods you have a nice day.

Same applies to me.

I predict one thing though: we're going to see some threads here locked by the mods. Maybe not yours.
At the moment,you can see the iMac threads sprouting up like they did after the AirportExpress came out. Lot's of locks ! Lot's.

I appreciate you posting this thread…

I was looking for some real world pictures of the iMac its hard to tell what it really looks like on the Apple Page. I didn’t really want to go searching through the 800 posts reading over everyone bitching about what they didn’t like just to find a link.

Thanks for posting

shoulda woulda coulda. your dream, but perhaps a nightmare for engineers. easy to photoshop a solution together, even easier to second guess apple; i'm sure they never would have thought of that.
