It seem to exist only to get you to pony up more dough for the dual 1.8.
I'd also have much rather seen a sub $1000 tower than a 20" iMac. Seriously Apple, let consumers buy their own displays. For the cost of the 20" iMac one could buy a dual G4 and a very nice flatpanel to boot.
The DP 1.8 is a great improvement though, makes me look forward to when I can actually afford one even more.
If they would offer the latest and greatest during December season they would sell more computers in my opinion. Because I'm not buying knowing a faster one is due January.. I'll just buy OTHER office eq this year as a tax right off.
You lose Apple. Must be Gore's idea.

Your statement contradicts itself.... especially since Gore has only been a board member for a year. Just like a conservative to assume it's someone else's fault. Last time I also checked, Jobs still made all the company's final decisions and don't forget that he is just or more liberal than Gore..
Yeah, it takes so much skill in order to have an inside source spill the beans.
Because that would have required a different, more expensive motherboard.
It is much better for Apple to lower the price of the 1.6Ghz G5 by $200 than to keep the price the same and add enhancements that the average consumer neither needs nor understands.
On the topic... I'm ready for a consumer tower or an iMac with a detachable LCD screen OR if the 20" iMac had a G5, it would be a much better buy.
