The other night, Apple released their brand new iMac computer — replacing the previous model which looked like a little dome with a screen sticking out of it.

This model is just one big screen, with the computer completely enclosed. At first, I was kind of non-committal, but by midday today I was head-over-heels in love with it. A slot-loading dvd-r/cd-rw drive on the side of your screen — how cool is that? For about $300 cheaper than the lowest model G5 Macintosh, I can get myself a brand new 20 inch LCD screen and an extra 80 gigabyte hard drive.

Alright, so I have to sacrifice one pesky processor. As if they’re any use. But I think I might have to get this baby. Er, when I’ve got money. My time will come.

When it does, I’ll have a large, tower-shaped gap in my computer desk, though. Please make suggestions as to what to fill it with now, so that I’m sure by the time my iMac arrives.
