Oh, platform zealotry. If you ask me, much of the arguement over Mac vs. PC vs. Linux and so forth has a lot more to do with the amount of time and money (read: LOVE) a geek has sunk into a given piece of tech than it has to do with common sense.
The new iMac is nice looking, but is it giving the consumer something truly new and unique? Seems like much less of a leap forward than the original iMac to me. Actually, it's a bit like a laptop on a stick, if you think about it...
I'll always have a soft spot for Apple. They realized early on that a GUI-based operating system was the way of the future. Since then, few of their bright ideas have actually rocked my world.
If you ask me, the future of computing is going to have very little to do with Apple unless they come up with another truly revolutionary product. But that would require some amount of risk-taking, wouldn't it?
