17" and 19" inch iMacs Coming in 3Q

It's funny- the publicity photos of the 15 inch macs really make it look a lot
nicer then it is. I finally saw one up close a few weeks ago- the arm and screen
is super smooth, but the base looks like a cheap toy. That said, larger screens
for the iMac definitely push it into a new territory... not sure if it would
convince me to buy one, but it sure would add magic shell to the ice cream.
And I'll leave it at that.
Bigger is Better, and I can't fucking wait.
Or maybe not, after Apple finds out they spilled the beans.
No, the engineers at Apple aren't intelligent enough to prevent such a scenario. But then again, it's really far fetched, who'd come up with an idea like that? "tipping over", hehehe, you silly person. Perhaps you should inform them of the imminent danger of resizing the monitors?
An iMac with two screens. I guess it would look kinda like Mickey Mouse!
Duh! So you have an excuse to hug the damn thing.

Only 19"? C'mon, Apple...
Strap a 23" Studio Display on one of these babies and watch it, er... topple over?..

Now, where did I put this witty quote?..

It's funny -- whenever I see a PC case at a computer shop it looks cheap. An then when I see cases on sale (having cut a few knuckles servicing said cases) I know why.

It picks up dirt like a hoover so that cleaming white hemisphere that looks pathetic when you take it out of the box becomes a dull grey lump of crap after a few weeks.
Mine's been out of the box for three weeks now, and the gleaming (note the spelling) white base is still gleaming white. Perhaps if you used that Hoover yourself, the dirt wouldn't wind up in your computers.

Hi RayChuang, My name is Steve Jobs. I post under the name Che Guevarra as I am a revolutionary just like him. Your ideas for the base of the iMac are also revolutionary which is why I'd like to offer you an executive position in our form and function department here in Cupertino. We'll make you the VP of all things squarish. If you see any of those latte sipping weasels on the design staff holding a compass while sitting at the drawing board, your job will be to knock it out of their hands and offer them a t-square instead.

Remember Amalek.
Yes, all the white plastic in the base will be replaced with depleted uranium, with an attractive brushed-metal finish to match their PowerBooks.
Listening Apple?
Nope.

Damned right. I'm a geek and proud of it. I've worked hard for years to reach this level of geekiness, and I'm damned well going to enjoy it.

It's more that I've got low overhead than that I've got a huge income...and it's all a matter of priorities anyway.
