Jeez, boze, I understand the desire for a faster processor in these iMacs, but boobjob? Give me a break. I'm running a 1GHz G4 in my PowerBook. They're energy-efficient processors that generate very little heat and thus don't require a fan. And they run a LOT of software (including some pretty powerful stuff) very, very well. And I'm sure if Apple could affordably add G5s to its iMacs and ensure proper production, they would -- but I'd rather see those scarcer chips go into the systems where they're needed, in the kind of hardware they'll work in (i.e., the G5 form factor with its fans).
There's no need to trash the market for this particular computer. When it makes economic sense and production sense for Apple to add a G5 to the iMac, they will. Don't be ashamed of being a Mac user. I'd wonder instead about consumers buying PCs based on MHz and then discovering they're not as intuitive and elegant as the Mac.
