I like the chrome look on the new Mac Pro. I wouldn't mind seeing a new iMac adopt that look in various places/trim.
As for the iMac G4, that's been my favorite design ever from Apple. It was eye-catching for sure, but that adjustable display and the front pop-out "tongue" optical drive were really handy (back when we played things from/burned things to discs. I sometimes like to imagine how it would've been if that design is the one that stuck around for 15+ years, changing along the way (materials, screen sizes, ports, specs, etc.) as the current design did.
I would've loved to have seen how that design gently evolved over a decade-and-a-half.
