Haha, true, but even though Apple has a way of sometimes surprising everyone, I still don't believe they'll ever release a Cube again, perhaps something else just as small, or smaller (with just as sexy design), but it won't be a Cube per se.

I think they need to do something that will fit in between iMac and PowerMac. The iMac currently is a bad price and a bad low end comp. If they made the iMac cheaper again and let the PowerMacs stay the same, there would be the perfect spot for the pro-sumer computer. Perhaps something with power but not any fancy shit. Perhaps a (then) older G5 and a decent GPU. There is space in apple for a 3rd line up, they just have to do it right.

I think thats a bit unfair on the poor old iMac... For what they are i think they are great comps. If your a no nonsense guy who needs a computer to write essays, to do emails, surf the web, play a few games and generally mess about the imac is fine.

Hardly BFG, a computer starting at 1299 barely would fall into that category. Most PC people buy $500-800 computers. Apple can't pass off a emac as a family computer, simply because they brand it for education. The case they put the iMac in now costs too much to produce, and has no chance of any expandability. It would be wise to lower the iMac price poitn with a new formfactor and all new guts.

The current iMac hasn't made the impression that the bondi iMac did. I really think they need to do something with iMacs and do it soon. Bang for buck stevve, not eligence and perfection swing arms.

I think there are too many people voting for the G5 based on the question "Best Macintosh Ever". Of course the G5 is the best macintosh ever, but it's not even close to the best design ever, which is what is being asked. Now, don't get me wrong, I think the G5 tower is really cool design, but I mean honestly... put it next to a cube or a new iMac, and it just looks boring.

The New iMac is ugly. I vote the cube as best.
