Using a campus iMac now (didn't mean to cause such an, um, controversy - for the record, I don't use tech during class). I used to have one just like this, but suddenly the 17" display seems miniscule! And that chin...it's huge!

I'm totally sold on the new iMacs. There was just something about the glass on the old ones that didn't work for me - they just looked so "heavy," the way the glass still had that aluminum around it, and that big, solid-looking chin... And the roundedness of the glass looked oddly retro, like a fat stripe from the seventies. Now the glass goes edge-to-edge - for real - and it's just straight across the bottom. And, of course, the chin looks even smaller, with these massive new screens!

I can't believe it. A 27-inch, 3.06 GHz iMac for only $1,699!

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong
