G5 in an iMac

babbage writes "I recently bought a Power Mac G5, and when I registered it with Apple, I was offered a free subscription to MacWorld. When signing up for the subscription, one of the questions you're asked is which Apple product you purchased most recently, and one of the items on the list was 'iMac G5.' Does the MacWorld marketing department know something that the rest of us don't?" Maybe they had seen the page that incognito writes about: "Over at AppleFritter, there's an awesome mod that changes an ordinary iMac into a mini version of the aluminum G5 tower. There were lots of details in the creator's work that leads to a very polished final product."

I don't know what's going on here, but there's more to it than a simple typo...

G5 iMac will happen sooner or later, perhaps WWDC next month. but there's nothing here... it's simply a typo.

Yeah. That's it..

Re:Or maybe....

The current (official) name for the iMac is "iMac G4", to differentiate from the original G3-based iMac, so the typo probably happened with that number right next to the 4.

Yeah. That's it..

I don't know what's going on here, but there's more to it than a simple typo. This was done deliberately; whether it was thought-through or accurate is a different matter, but it wasn't done on accident.
