Flat-panel iMacs in Apple's Future?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wouldn't-that-be-pretty dept.

WinkyN writes: "A story on Yahoo! is claiming Apple might release a flat-panel iMac for release in early 2002. Analysts for Morgan Stanley who cover Apple say the computer manufacturer has placed orders for component parts to build such a machine (in fact, build about 100,000 of them a month). Perhaps Steve Jobs will announce this at Macworld Expo in January?"

    Imagine all those soaps and shows where people only work with iMac's instead of real computers... they all have to upgrade to avoid to look dated! Sell WB stock now!

  2. Water cooling? Huh? by Wakko+Warner · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Apple's chips simply run too slow to need any sort of active cooling. Besides, there's no way they'd mess with water cooling, not with the average intelligence of their users. Can you imagine hundreds of electrocuted Mac owners?

    Honestly I don't know why it was considered revolutionary especially in design especially since Compaq were doing the monitor and computer in one before the iMac. If cheesy colours are considered revolutionary then I guess so.
