DESIGN 2004 - 25 Best Products of the Year:
Electronics: iMac G5

An engineering marvel, the new iMac tucks the computer and speakers inside the expansive flat-panel display—"an advance as welcome as the day that VCR/DVD players were encased in the TV monitor box," says Thompson. Built-in wireless technology lets you use a cable-free keyboard and mouse.

Designer: Apple. Price: $1,400; apple.com

You stated they were pretty, then reversed yourself, by comparing them...

LOL. No wonder this is going nowhere - your reading comprehension sucks. Let me restate, using smaller words, what I was going on about.

ME: I don't care for the way Macs look.
SOMEONE ELSE: PC's aren't any better, in fact they're worse looking.
ME: I don't care if they're better than PC's, I still don't like them.
YOU: You're an idiot.

And so forth. Just give it up - I don't care for the way they look. I'm sorry you can't let go of that, I'm sorry it's wrecked your day or whatever, I'm sorry you're obsessive about how beautiful your Mac is, but I just don't think they're that attractive. Period. Get over it.

I find Apple's designs lacking on their own merits, without needing to compare them to others to arrive at that conclusion. They may be the prettiest cow pies in the pasture, but in the end, they're still s***. -re #21

... ME: I don't care if they're better than PC's, I still don't like them. -re #41

Your opinion has been truly revealed... and you attempted to obfuscate it. I didn't call you an idiot, just "clueless".

You just don't like MACS. You call them "pretty", then call them shiite... You reply endlessly to my postings, yet you add nothing of note. You base your comments, in your response, to its aesthetics. But, the real beauty of Macs is obvious to everyone else, it is the total combination of power with style. You just don't appreciate the better things in life. You seem to have the need to "get over it"!

It's sad that a machine can make you feel that way! I hope your Monday is better! Enjoy your Wintel...

G5 bump...

ps- I like Mercedes, Partagas, and good red wines, as well... it's not just about style, but it is definitely about function! -page

LOL. I give up - you're never going to get it.
