'MW Expo: New iMac 'will sell buckets!'
After the Steve Jobs keynote at Macworld Expo San Francisco 2002 Jonathan Cole, chairman of UK Mac reseller Computer Warehouse, told Macworld that he thought - unlike the G4 Cube - Apple's new LCD iMac "will sell bucket-loads".

"It's amazing how Apple made the Cube round," he quipped - but added that he thought the new consumer desktop "excellent". '

Personally, I reckon getting rid of Woznak made the company Apple in anme only, however...

Maybe there is life in the old mac yet?

Mac didn't mind losing AOL that much, and for Mac's supporters it was more of a victory. AOL are a terribly crap and horrible company... they suck.

Mac's rule!

Indeed they do, and you can pick up some more RAM at the moment for stupidly cheap prices.. have a look around.

lol... It only because it seems at leaset once a week that some company seemed to be dropping the Mac, AOL being the most notable... but certainly many vendors, developers and even Internet companies...

And what with the let down of the Cube...

However, this new machine may once again raise the fortunes of the company?

Oh, and its great how Steve Jobs doesn't want to get paid, and
> doesn't get paid for working for Mac. Respect to him.

He does have a flair for image and design... I just cant help feeling that had Woznaks touch remained in the company it would have remained a more dominant force in computing???...

Explain yourself. They are an old company. Are you talking about the machine or the actual iMac?

At least he can count what four words are and also doesnt defame his company by dancing around the stage looking like a *swearword* stupid baboon... what a nobcheese that man was.

You basturd. I was going to do a topic on this super machine.

Its bloody amazing. What you get in it. What it does. I mean, has any machine ever looked so beautiful. This is a computer to watch as it will sell amazingly well with its flatscreen and base of only 10'.
