Shame that, I always thought they were oh so very very sexy, wonder if I can pick up a cheap one now they are out of fashion, or if anyone wants to donate one to a good home, Orange was always my favourite colour, it'd look great in my office at home.

Old news for some may be new news for others.
We use imacs @ school, so it's good to know.
Thanks Mr Jones.

i'm glad, downd with imac's, i have to use them at school and while they are better with adobe, and illistarter (running not at the same time), that does not out weight the fact that ibms are much more compaticable with programs and user freidnly

[SNYder]

i wouldn't exactly say user friendly.

[dlinkwit27]

i never did like those things...

[apollos]

ah well, out with old, in with the better?

[zplsoccer]

ok i can go with that as long as IBM's are better

[devils night]

i knew that months ago. They said they would rename them eMACa and use them only for schools which onfused me sense I found them selling them in stores.

oh well

[pixiefied]

damn..i wanted one of those. actually i was hoping they were gonna make a flatscreen soon...i'd buy the blue one.

[binary hero]

I didn't like imacs for one simple reason. only one button on the mouse. really, how hard is it to put two f***ing buttons on the damn mouse?
