I finally found someone as sick as me. I basically have a Mac Museum.

1 Dual 2.8GHz MacPro 8 Core
1 PowerBook G4 1GHZ
1 Dual 1GHZ G4 Powermac
4 other Powermac G4's
2 Powermac G3's
2 9600's
1 840av
1 Apple Network Server
And a garage full of older assorted Macs. iMac, LCIII, IICI, 7600, Performa, Powerbooks, etc.

I used to be an Apple Certified Tech and found it hard to pass up cheap deals and so the collection began!

Call the doctor, I am smitten with the Mac.

I am semi aroused again. Smiley 

While I just bought a monster HP laptop, I am using an old tower I built like 3-4 years ago (well, don't use it, as the 17" lappy relaced it)...but might be able to sell the warden on one of these bad mamma jammas. She's 'purty.'

And I assume a wireless card in there and perhaps blue tooth, so I would just need 1 power cord dangling? I think I am in love.

Comes with Wireless and Bluetooth. You could even load Windoz on it if you had to. In fact, it will run Windows faster than a lot of PCs.

They just upgraded the iMacs. Get the 24in model. Oh, you might miss your cords.

Yea, I just looked at that bad boy. Maybe I'll get it for wife for X-Mas. Smiley

Why the cord on that iMac keyboard?  The wireless one isn't standard? http://www.apple.com/keyboard/

I'm looking forward to the day Apple releases a 50in LCD Hi-Rez monitor that I can mount on my wall and doubles as a HDTV. That with a wireless mouse and keyboard would be nirvana.

One question: That last one, the new iMac, there's no tower?!? I thought they were just showcasing the monitor, but after checking out the Apple site, it appears the guts are housed in the monitor, in and of itself? Say it isn't so...

Exactly, everything is behind the monitor, amazing, no ?

You want to hear something funny.  When my iMac arrived, I opened the skinny box and thought "nice monitor".  Then I asked the wife if the courier dropped off the rest. 

I then called the courier to see if they forgot a package for me.  I was mad, so I went and took a nap.  When I woke up, the wife had my iMac out of the box and plugged in on my desk with a big grin on her face telling me "IT'S ALL IN ONE!!!".

I wasted 3 hours pouting when I didn't have to....priceless.  She will never let me forget this one either.  Cheesy Roll Eyes

As I ALT tab out of TF2 on my overclocked q9450 9800gtx PC built under the $800 mark, check some emails and some various forum posts, I am once again submitted to the religion of the Mac.

A PC forum for fairness Smiley  I think my PC runs the OSX86 project faster than the fastest Mac runs OSX, but thats probably out of the realms of traditional Mac Users.  /DIG
