  1. Grr... When can I buy this? by cmason · · Score: 2, Funny

    All these companies from microsoft to phillips keep talking about having a "revolution in handheld computing." Where the hell is it? Can I buy it today? No. We're still 5 years behind where we were when we lost the newton. Grr... I wish these people would put their chips up and let me vote with my wallet.

    The flat panel display of the iMac is removable.

    It's really quite cool! Go try it yourself. You may have to pull really hard, and don't be afraid to put your foot on the boob to get some leverage.

    Trust me! It works great!
