Backstage pass to the future? Maybe not…
Alternate’s possibly some people’s only Mac-news outlet, so here goes:
- New iMac, flat-panel 700 & 800 mhz G4 models, looks like a lamp some people say, SuperDrive on the high-end, prices at normal iMac prices ($1200 and up)
- iPhoto, pretty cool new digital photo studio thingamajig for MacOS X only, sort photos, share them, edit them, buy hard-bound books with them for $30, etc. Pretty fucking cool.
- 14″ iBook and lowered prices on the 12″ models, no speed bump for them
- No new G4s announced, kind of a let-down as the iMac is so cool, a newer, faster G4 tower to expand the Pro line would have made sense, but whatever.
I’m sure I’ll be told if I’ve left anything out….

johnny five alive!
First thing I saw was it’s relation to the Pixar mascot. Then I found out the five minute iMac2 video (where it basically dances/ see it at Apple’s site) was animated by a Pixar exec. Go figure. It’d really sweet if for the world’s first hardware easter egg, the iMac would bob to music if provoked. A $2000 machine that acted like a $5 novelty. Sweet.
get it hooked up with a billy bigmouth bass and you’d really have something that woolworth’s could get behind.
it’s a $1200.00 hummer!
