MrMiyagi writes "Apple VP of of Hardware Product Marketing, Greg Joswiak, discusses the new iMac G5's hardware design. Apparently it's light enough to carry around the house, and has special fans that run at low speeds making the cooling very quiet."
Jobs + Wozniak = Joswiak. This is obviously the product of genetic manipulation dating back to the early 1980's, to breed a technical genius with a reality distortion field and impeccable style.

Nahh. Us supervillains need expandibility. Where can I fit my PCI-Express Death Ray Control Card? Or my FPGA-based neural network card? Fact is, this is a computer only for suspiciously stylish european or euro-wannabe supervillains who have a puzzling lack of buxom female henchmen, but many large blond male ones.

Repeat after me: I will not post articles from a VP of marketing.
I will not post articles from a VP of marketing. I will not post articles from a VP of marketing. I will not post articles from a VP of marketing. I will not post articles from a VP of marketing....
Good, now continue. Even if he's from Apple and he's got a brand new toy to talk about, he is still a VP of Marketing. : )

but being a poor techie, I just can't afford it.
I wait with bait on my breath for a simple, cheap ($500-$800), computer from them that includes the styling and beauty of the more expensive models.
But I guess that's why I am typing this on my old 497mHz 128MB ram linux box.
Hail the new "free" economy and the frustion of Apple that they are not considered by many to be an alternative to the mighty monopolistic broken OS.

They're actually speed holes, they make the computer go faster.
There are even four indicator lights on the motherboard that an Apple Care person will tell you to look at the lights, and depending on what's lit up, can tell you the state of different sub-systems.
But first they force you to admit that there are actually five lights.

this achieves much of the same things [as the G4 iMac] in a different way and, we think, in a better way.

if you want that then you need to spring for a PowerMac. The 5200 will handle anything that Quartz throws at it though.
I had a PowerMac 5200.

And it doesn't need a fan. of course, the incredibly long serial cord connecting to the 1541 floppy drive is a bummer, but nothing a few rolls of duct tape couldn't fix.
