That was *almost* a sentence.

Translated:
"They say it's ugly because they are poor and cannot afford the beautifully quiet, and aesthetically pleasing iMac G5."

:roll:

cuz what? olololol! it can't play hl2? guess what? some people appreciate a elegant quiet and tiny computer for places in the house that don't need massive uber gamiing power surf the web? do 90% of what people ACTUALLY do on a computer? does it more then fine. and hell, some people don't play games. shocker! yes.. indeed.

? When did I say anything about games? I don't even play HL2...

My experience with the iMac G5 was disappointing. It's unattractive and slow (at everything, including browsing the internet). If you have it on the network, you'll divide its overall speed in half. Compared to your average PC, these things CANNOT efficiently handle every day jobs OR processor-heavy jobs. Just browsing the internet and trying to edit a project in InDesign, I was stuck staring at the spinning pinwheel for an excrutiatingly long time, and having to constantly resize Safari windows to get it to display content correctly, after taking 15 seconds to load it. This machine does NOT "do 90% of what people do on a computer 'more than fine'", it does a horrible job of it considering its price tag.

Sounds like you need ram and camino.

It is, especially with the oversized white light on it. They made it way too huge, the size they used on the newer eMacs and the original iMac was perfect.

After using that iMac, I would've never guessed it was using 768MB of ram, but sadly it was

768MB is nothing if you're actually doing stuff. Seriously.

I was browsing fine with 256 in my powerbook, though I couldn't do much else.

I agree, but you see, almost any PC would run the same programs 10 times as fast on 768MB. If I purchased a machine for that much, I'd expect it to run decently well OOTB.

Safari is slow. It's common knowledge. Camino is much faster, and better in a lot of respects. Firefox is probably the second best browser on the platform, but it's bloated compared to camino.

I wish Apple would cut down the bloat a bit, but it won't happen. For someone that's used to the speeds of Windows XP on 20123ghz pentium 4 (that manages to be the same model heating the base in antartica, and using the HSF that provides the hurricane effects in movies) it's going to be too slow to use. And unfortunately, using quieter machines means you can easily hear what is going on around you. :Q

I'm wierd. I don't care what you use, as long as it works for you.

How'd you know my HSF looked like a turbine!? :laugh: The G5 was a lot quieter than my PC, I admit that.

To each his own.
