iMac is magnetized

[ipoddin]

Ok, maybe I just didn't read the manual completely, or maybe this is common knowledge, I don't know. But I had no idea the lower right side of the iMac has a magnet built in to it to attach the remote control. Now I don't have to worry about losing the remote. It attaches right to the iMac. Another brilliant Apple design element!

Yes, it does.

It was advertised at the release of the Rev. C iMac G5.

Doh! Well, this is my first iMac in 3 years. Oh well, it's still cool.

It's infinitely cool, the guys at the office were very impressed when we got ours!

Quite the nice feature in my opinion, rock on Apple.

I thought the Remote contained the living quarters for a very small, well-trained limpet. But, thinking about it, that's probably the battery compartment.

I use the Remote alot with iTunes and Front Row.
What happens when the Battery eventually dies in it?

The battery is replaceable.

You mean the remote sticks to the side of my iMac because of magnets?
I thought is was magic.
No, no!
It's IS magic!
There is no magnet.
Yes, yes!
Magic! Magic!
