ok i`m a bit conservative when purchasing something, because over the last two decades the quality of finished products is dropping , products are getting thrown on the market to feed the consumers believe "i desperatly need a new blabla" so instead of having years to test out a product, manufacturers test things for a couple weeks ,10 or so of a batch of 10000 and then give it to customers to do the extensive testing
so the things i buy are usually at least 3 years on the marked ,as then all known flaws and bugs have been found / solved , my imac is from 2001 and its working great no problems whatsoever ,it does what it was build for and can (apart from the missing usb 2.0) keep up with my more then double mhz speed emac
if apple would build a imac in the same design as the imac g3 , when i say same design i mean just that , (like austi mini and new mini from bmw), updated with usb 2.0,usb 3.0 ? a superdrive
maybe a platin edition imac g3 if it has to be a intel inside then ok ,but not a c2d , instead with a itanium 2 ,Hondo 1.4GHz, 4MB cache, dual core MCM,
to celebrate the computer that rescued apple
... i would give steve jobs a blank cheque
