Allen caught the first one, that the page I linked compared an LCD iMac with CRT PCs and still matched them on balance for the rest of its features. See my reply to Allen. I have no problem getting a similar-to-iMac configuration with an LCD for $1800 (DVD-RAM/DVD-R). In fact this should not come as a surprise to any Apple lover. Apple has never competed on a price basis, but on quality of the OS. As one would expect one can get comparable machines without much effort and I bet substantially cheaper if we applied ourselves to it. By the way, this new iMac takes up considerably less space than just a 17" CRT monitor. And of course it takes up no space at all under the desk. So that footprint issue continues to be valid whether you believe so or not. We disagree on that one. I hear users wishing for many things including a computer that looks nice and one that takes less space on the desktop. Not once have I heard somebody complaining about space "occupied" by towers under the desk. That was just a strawman by the skewed website trying to prop-up a comparison that they themselves noticed the iMac was losing.
