Actually, I rather like it. I don't, however, much like the look of the
machines themselves. I think it's a step backward, as far as asthetic
design goes.

Actually, I just bought a G4 tower back in March. Now it's obsolete
after only five months (it'll be August by the time the new G5's ship).

Are you kidding? The G5 makes my (brand new) G4 look like some sort of

favourite things, to something of an embarrasment.

Say what you like - but Apple know how to make truly beautiful computers.
