Blue Ray? don't care. I've owned a Dual Layer Lacie external for 3 years and never bought a DVD DL (£££) so avi. HD to HIGHER Definition? :), New Keyboard? £40. better GFX chip? NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT does its 'Call of Duty 2' well ;) and so on.... S/PDif I/O, Digital Sound, i still 'only' have Pro Logic anyway so its ahead of my seperates though not my MOTU828 maybe it'll be 7.1 - and a new shape? How many variations of flat/ square with rounded corners are there? After all I've said I bet the 24" receives a coloiur option but the other models gain H.D. screens, the 17" a dedicated GFX chip and ALL wireless keyboards as standard. I'll not lose any sleep. Well I will the GFX heck even the worse VHS old BMX ripped videos I have look great. Even those that look terrible on my G4 hooked 17" TFT, 15" CRT pure class, PC No1 old skool iMac (O.G.) Original Graphite S.E. (my fav) and 12" G4 iBook (it works) & 15" G3 PBook Pismo Laptop screens.... ahh the Pismo, my 2nd Fav, damn that is a fine design/set up, all be it now under powered for 10.5 but what a workhorse as is!!, & class! the old skool got class, character, style hmm maybe the iMac could benefit from THAT I do agree. Though at least its no longer a decapitated R2D2 with solar panel (who watched too much Star Wars/Energy Conservation docs? = iMac mk2) Design Award? omg! Must have been in the wrong category but judgement was set. No turning back. Hey, I could do with a VERY heavy, gripping swivel base, the tilt is good on the iMac 24".. a swival base please? anyone? and 4 oles for screws would have been good, just in case, The rear cable hole is handy to put a huge motorbike padlock through it and chain it to a metal frammed TV stand. I'd LOVE to see someone carry that AND the 24" out of a window, down a ladder heck even stairs and run off with it.... or they could use bolt cutters cos ESP is riff in the burglers guild and their hack saw skills 2nd to none, 2 maybe even as low as 1 hour and they'd have sawn through the 2" steel tube the bike chain is round, then another 1 or 2 through the other :) I hope that stayed on topic, maybe the 'security' part could (?) should be added elsewhere? as it is a practical move for such an easy target. iMacs/eMacs were a little less easy, the eMac was designed with schools/children not picking them up in mind weren't they?
