A lot of people are missing the point of the new iMac. It’s not a computer for pros, it’s a computer for regular users. It’s for the receptionists desk, moms, grandparents, elementary school kids, doctors, lawyers, authors. It’s simple, it doesn’t need fiddling with. Open the box, plug it in and turn it on. I bet at least 40% of all iMacs have never been opened up even to add RAM.

This reminds me of mountain bikers bitching that the Segway could only go 12 mph.

I have a theory that there are two kinds of tech people. Those who always have the newest gadget and fastest computer, and those who hotrod whatever they can get their hands on. I fall into the hotrod category. My main machines are all more than three years old now. Sometimes it sucks, but they’re still getting by and I don’t really have time to move everything to a new machine right now. (Which is a good thing since Apple didn’t announce new pro towers yesterday)
