So Apple is finally doing away with the CRT iMacs. It's about time. I've never been a big fan of the all-in-one, non-upgradable idea. You know the deal: you can upgrade the software, but as far as hardware, about all you can do with the iMac is add more RAM. The idea is that the machine is only supposed to last a few years, and then you have to buy a new one. Brilliant strategy, isn't it?
Don't get me wrong, I like Macs, but I would never own an iMac or an eMac, for the reasons outlined above. Well, maybe that isn't totally true... if someone were to give me one of these machines for free, I would take it.
On the other hand, I would be willing to shell out the money for a PowerMac or a PowerBook (probably not an iBook though). Or an iPod, if I hadn't already gotten one for free.
