Apple today introduced new iMac configurations featuring up to a 1.25GHz G4 processor and faster 333MHz DDR memory as standard.
Three models of iMac are now available as standard from the company: the 1GHz 15-inch screen Combo drive (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) iMac; the 17-inch model (with SuperDrive), hosting a 1.25GHz processor; and the 17-inch SuperDrive Plus model, which offers 1.25GHz, and ships with AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth built-in.
The 15-inch iMac costs 999; the 17-inch SuperDrive costs 1,449; and the 17-inch SuperDrive Plus costs 1,713. Prices include VAT.
All models are AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth ready, though the highest-end model is the only iMac with these features pre-installed. Other features common across the range include: 80GB hard drives (high end, 160GB); 10/100Base-T Ethernet; 56K internal modems; and Apple Pro speakers.
The new iMacs have three USB 2.0 ports and two FireWire 400 ports. They do not offer the new FireWire 800 standard.
The 15-inch model has an NVidia GeForce4 MX graphics card installed with 32MB dedicated DDR video memory - up from a GeForce2 MX. The two 17-inch iMacs offer NVidia GeForce FX 5200 Ultra graphics cards with 64MB DDR memory installed. Previously the 17-inch models featured the GeForce4 MX.
With Mac OS X 10.2 and Apple's iApps (iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes and iDVD), the software bundle includes: QuickTime, iCal, iChat, iSync, DVD Player, AppleWorks, Mac OS X Mail, Internet Explorer, Mac OS X Chess, Otto Matic, Deimos Rising, FAXstf, Acrobat Reader, and the Apple Hardware Test CD.
Apple has also introduced new iPods with a maximum 40GB storage:
>>>40GB iPod launched
By Macworld staff
Apple has introduced a 40GB iPod for 398.99 including VAT.
The new version replaces the 30GB iPod, although the price is unchanged. The 40GB model can hold 10,000 songs, and weighs 176 grams.
The 15GB version has also been replaced by a 20GB version, with pricing fixed at 299.
All iPods include earbud headphones, an iPod power adaptor, a FireWire cable and a 4-pin-to-6-pin iPod FireWire adaptor.
20GB and 40GB models include the iPod Dock, a carrying case and wired remote.

once the blacklist people start cutting off EVERY ISP in the world because of spam messages SOBIG would defeat itself because no one would be getting mail.
That's exactly the point of SoBig. It's practicly impossible to stop, except in 2 cases: a) Everyone (or at least 95-97%) would use Outlook anymore...
b) All holes (of the same nature as Sobig uses) are closed in Outlook...
Can't really make up my mind about wich is more unlikely to happen....I'm not holding my breath for either to happen though.
And what about Gnumeric & kspread (& OOoCalc) having the same file format? (Or at least settling on one)
Isn't it a bit goofy to have 3 formats when you could all be working together?
[..]Debian was developed specifically to counter "Linux Companies"[..]
That, my dear Twitter, is complete nonsence.
Please read the retrospective by the founder of Debian himself.
When the Debian project was started, there were no other distro types!
You really have to be a non-english speaker (or even brittish/irish for that matter), to see just how US centric MS Office is.
For instance (in windows as a whole infact, but it's a good example): There are different Keyboard settings, en-us, en-gb (us+pound sign), int-us (huh? I hear you say...), and then de (german), nl (dutch), etc.
When using the dutch keymap, the way to write an " is by pressing the '-key + SHIFT, and then . This is HIGHLY irritating when typing, but, after numerous complaints, MS has just said: We think this is the best solution. That's why the most used keymap in holland is 'int-us'.. !
And the euro sign () is made by CTRL + ALT + 5..argh ! Why not make the shift of 4 (dollar sign, $) the euro sign, and the dollar sign in some harder to reach one (such as CTRL + ALT + 5).
Oh, and on a Linux note, SuSE had euro sign support () 2 years earlier than MS, who had it just in the nick of time...
If you want an easier install procedure, IBM backup and it's certified by the US ministry of Defence?
Get SuSE.
It's a really well organised distro (better than RH, as I've found out)
Good luck with your quest.
Whoops; And as for OGG support for Codec CD players, iRiver is making (some) progress: ---------- [OGG status report] First of all thank you for your support and showing your interest to iRiver. iRiver would like to make an announcement about the OGG Codec.
Plan for supporting OGG files: There are many customers who are wondering if iRiver would ever support OGG file formats. Technically, it is difficult to play an OGG file from a portable audio device. There is currently an OGG Codec available (only for non portable players) on www.xiph.org. According to this site, the Fixed Point version source "Tremor" is required to make an OGG Codec. This version is not optimized for Embedded (or portable) audio devices. To insert this Codec in the iRiver MP3 player, the size of source needs to be reduced by half. It is possible to reduce a source about 10 to 20% without making any major changes. Unfortunately, it is impossible to reduce the size of the source by 50% without changing the algorithm of the source. Since OGG file has been recently developed, there is not enough information or research result available to modify the algorithm of the source. iRiver is currently researching and developing a Codec that would allow OGG files to be played by a portable player with two side companies. Please wait patiently and iRiver will update you the research and development process of the new Codec. ---------- From: http://iriver.com/ -> News/me keeps hoping for OGG support!
