Ford should buy Apple, give away an iMac and an iPod with every new car bought, and let Steve Jobs design cars

Ugliest. Mac. Ever.

But the really sad thing is Apple is stuck trying to make some digital photography software seem exciting while Microsoft has come out with a detachable lcd display that communicates with your PC wirelessly.

Apple is playing catch up, and you can't charge premium prices for something that is slower and less capable.

They seem bent on making Macs more useless than they already are. Now not only are they software impaired (as always)but now they're going hardware impaired. How are you going to upgrade or add anything to a box the size of a toaster?

Mac are best looking pieces of crap available. They were ok for mulitmedia work a long time ago before the PC had the 32 bit bus, but now anyone who buys a mac is handicapping himself.

What's funny is that Mac people think they're special or something, like thier crap comes out of their a-hole smelling like carnations because they use something that limits their computing ability. I never got that.

The biggest problem with Apple has always been that they're in California.

--really, as a decades now long apple user, I have to say, the single easiest way for mac to gain market share is to MAKE A CHEAPER APPLE that works well, looks reasonably cool, and comes preloaded with all that software jazz. Their OS has always been tops, it's infinitly easier to learn for a raw newbie computer buyer/user, but then the power user can cruise, too! Best of both worlds!. So,they HAVE to consistently crack that 0ne grand barrier, in fact, they should have an all in one imac at around 500 bucks, THEN they'd see converts. Once people use macs, they hardly ever go back, it just is, I've seen this phenomenon too many times to discount it as an aberration, people just want a bigger faster mac then. People will gladly give up the turbo charged yugo lemon clones if they get a chance to really USE a mac and it don't break the bank that first day at the store. So if they can get them one time with a machine, they'll sell a much better machine within a year as the kids or gramps inherit the first one. it'll happen, too, if they did that.

zog to jobs -IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID. Some people want to try out the hamburger-plate model before they pop for the filet at the puter restaurant.

heh heh, and all you rich macophiles out there, PLEASE buy a lot more fast Titanium powerbooks so I can get into at least a G3 wallstreet or iBook on the used market!

First, let me say that I'm not trying to get a shouting match between Maccers and PCers started.

It is no wonder Apple has trouble attracting the general populace. TechTV was reviewing this new iMac the other day and all they talked about was making DVDs, photos, and multimedia with a $1800 computer. Nowhere was there mentioned anything that the general population uses on a regular basis. The main ones who use Macs are graphics people and schools. And the ones at school just sit there waiting for anyone to come use them. People use the PCs, even the old worn out ones. Once, I couldn't find a unused PC at school and was forced to use an iMac; I was lost.

I think the iLamp is a crappy design for a computer. Throw in a 800W halogen bulb and maybe I'll take one to illuminate my desk for when I am getting work done on my PC.
