Seems Apple was going to announce a new iMac at WWDC, but a parts shortage kept them from being able to do so.

My guess: G5 chip and a case redesign. They'd need the case redesign for the G5 anyway at this point, and if the G5 was the only reason for a parts shortage then they could have fairly easily used a faster G4 and waited one more generation. No, my guess is that the new cases are what's really holding it back; probably a shortage in one of the parts or something.

if i was in power here, i'd add the word "timeline" to the censored words list. i'm sure you'd all find something else which wasn't funny to milk to death for years, though.
