Nothing "bad", but, as Robo points out, it was the exact machine Jobs shot down or poo-pooed a couple of years earlier, upon the introduction of the iMac G4 ("we could've just glommed the guts onto the back, but each element wouldn't be true to itself...flat screen displays want to be flat and thin, drives want to be horizontal..." and so forth). He made a big point of how they didn't take the easy, expected route with an AIO flat-screen computer.

Go find the iMac G4 unveiling keynote at YouTube if you've never seen it.



Then, two-and-a-half years later, comes the iMac G5...looking exactly like the design he was so proud of avoiding with the lampshade iMac.
