Hey, this website is a nice breath of freshair.  I'm going to kind of hit on a topic i did in another post.  I'm currently in the market for a new computer and i'm on a budget (I'm in school). So far I've looked at computers I think i will like from vedors like Nutrend and Ibuypower.com, but they all want to shove M$ XP down my throat.  Can you call these people and ask them form a Linux based program instead?  Hitting on the Mac angle, I'm frustrated by the fact that Mac only offers a budget computer in the iMac form.  I just can't go for that darn 15" screen.  If i step up to a PowerMac 733 and buy even a cheap monitor, i'm looking at a wallet-breaker.  Why, Mac, must you do this to me?  Are there any plans for Mac to bring in a budget system that will do the cd burning and stuff AND have a bigger monitor!  The 15" is going Dinosaur.  Why is Mac sticking to the current iMac.  I am interested in buying a Mac and maybe i'll end up shelling out the moolah for a Power Mac, but i might have to eat Ramen for the nect six months.  Shouldn't Mac cater to a bigger, more varied crowd?

Hi . . . I just answered you in your other post.  As I said there, there's a strong chance (according to the rumors, anyway) that a new LCD iMac, with faster processor, more memory, etc. is coming out in January.  Or, if you can do a laptop, the iBooks are very price-competitive for the feature set they offer.

I own an iMac and it aint to bad as for the rumers about an lcd iMac whell i realy realy wouldn't mind one of those.

U ppl know anything about the G5 processor?

And who rated the webmaster so lowly???

THIS IS THE BEST SITE I EVER SAW!!

Anyway  Mac's arent too bad for price, the power mac's are .. well .. yes  very expensive
about $4000  for the lowest quality one.    

well cya

[Pissed_Macman]

get an emac... it has a 17" screen.  and if you want more there is a hack to allow a second monitor.  Its only a software hack, no openeing up the machine.

That thread is almost two years old. It's been revived by Psyjax because it's the oldest thread in the Mac forums.

AS good a reason as any  

[Crunchy(Cracked)Butter]

That would mean then the emac wouldn't of been available to him when he wanted to make a purchase?

[Calum]

but neither would the answer telling him to get one.

so if he's still looking and he sees this then he's sorted.
