The 'Raccoon' iMac

=

I knew there was a reason it looked familiar to me.
What, me worry?

Here's an original idea: iMac. That's what it's called. Or Aluminum iMac if you must. Did anybody call the aluminum Powerbooks "Albook" in public? No. Nicknames for Apple computers just don't make sense.

The iBlack?

The old form factor had four incarnations:
iMac G5 version 1 (1.6GHz, 1.8GHz and easily serviced)
iMac G5 version 2 (1.9GHz, 2.1 GHz not easily serviced)
iMac Intel CD
iMac Intel C2D
There really isn't a good name for any of them.

Apple will just call it iMac (current generation).

Is this iMac using the Santa Rosa chipset?

I'm a bird. I am the 1% (of pets).

I love the above suggestions. But I think the iTouchMac would be a nice gesture!

How about the "No Longer White" IMac. I hated the white one.

And I love the new aluminum IMac!!

The emoMac? (Note the disturbing resemblance: http://freshairla.files.wordpress.co...al-romance.jpg) It would seem Apple have fallen foul of this new craze for "guyliner". How long before Steve Jobs and Jonathan Ive are seen wearing it in public?

If it was an emoMac wouldn't the mouse buttons be painted black (ala fingernails)?

I think, no matter what nicknames folks come up with, everyone's just going to refer to it as the "aluminum iMac".

"Beagle Boy", because the black frame looks like the masks of the Disney Beagle Boys.
