Here's the annual iMac coloring book.

Post your favorite iMac colors and colors you'd like to see on the next iMac.

I think a perfectly clear iMac would rule. Bump the G3 to 700 megahertz or more, and then, you have a perfect, professional-looking iMac. A flat-screen CRT would be nice, and an integration of DVD and CD-RW into a new slot-loading drive would make "prosumers" happy.

The iMac is in for a chassis change, anyway.

Post away! Crazy ideas and sane ideas are welcome.

The Black iMac is a little (well, a lot) shoddy because I rushed it.

Plasma

Wave

Blood
It looks too much like Ruby, but take a look anyway if you like.

I like the most of the colors, what I want is a new form factor -

I want a tablet based Mac that has a camera, dvd drive and stereo speakers and at least 5 hours of battery life. It could Airport into the base/charging cradle for local net access or plug into it for recharging and use as a desktop monitor. The base could have a big hard drive, a keyboard and two button cordless optical mouse.

Take the touch screen monitor/tablet out of the recharging base and it's the world's coolest tablet sized PDA. With a near full size onscreen keyboard and the ability to do Photoshop work right on the screen.

I have a funny feeling the Bloody one won't sell. . .a little to gruesome. It might be a big hit w/ goths though.

So who did? Can't you let us know where you found it and give props to the author? At first I thought this looked like the work of Applele but although there are some gorgeous LCD iMacs there, nothing like this. I think this one is beautiful, and I hope Apple takes this design seriously.

Actually, now that I think about it, this is clearly thew work of pscates. This is your best work yet, Paul. Keep it up. I still prefer FreeHand, though.

Hey Sean, I want a war to break out in Iraq and for the US Army to lower its enlistment age... but it is not going to happen, bub. =]

That is all.

Actually, now that I have given it some serious thought, they should make the iMacs lighter and less bulky. I mean, it has that funky handle on the back for a reason, right? To be mobile right? Or is it there so you can attach a rope and use the computer as an anchor? =p Anyway, back to the whole thing about being lighter and such, being more convenient to move around would encourage LAN parties and such =]. ...or the use of iMacs as portable battering rams. Either one is cool for me.

Note: That last message did indeed carry a somewhat distorted serious idea. The iMac (I believe) was supposed to be a cheap, ready to go platform that anyone could use. No point in making a "professional-looking" one because you could just buy an overpriced G4 tower. Basically, you cannot change the element of the iMac... the purpose it was designed to fufill.

That is all.
