I really need (read want) to buy a new computer. I'm leaning toward getting an iMac, but do feel a little cheated to buy one now with the emac being a better deal.
Do you think that by Sept 1st something will happen to the iMac line either in an update or the rumored G5?

Oh yes, I'm waiting, too.
I almost bought an eMac, but then decided to wait for the next iMac revision.
There has to be a revision ometime this summer. The last revision is from December, right ?
That's already 6 months. I can't see Apple going almost a year without updating.
The BIG QUESTION:
Is it going to be a G5 or not ?

There is a saying, though I cannot give credit to the source:
"What do you think, what do you know, what can you prove?"
For intelligent discussion, it is important to know and understand the difference.

Well, when it comes to speculation, I think everyone thinks what they want, knows nothing, and can't prove a thing... so.....
I think:
No G5 iMac in 2004
I know:
According to Apple's history, the iMac will be the LAST to get a G5, and it will be accompanied by a complete new design. The iMac has only been out for just over 2 years, and is not ready for such a drastic change.
I can prove:
No one knows anything expect Apple.
Now, how about you go harrass the guy that said "all signs point to yes" !?!?

I agree. In fact, I'm betting on July shipments. No guarantees though of course.
There's also this thread, but there's a lot of noise in there.

So Wanker,
Why don't you follow your own remarks, and explain to us what makes you think this?
