I was thinking of buying one of the new G3 Professional systems later this
year, now I'm thinking of buying a G3 accelerator card for my 8500/180.
All in all, the iMac really doesn't look that bad, if you ignore the colour
scheme. However, the new professional case does. When I first saw a side
shot of it I thought I was looking at a stylized representation of the
processor.
Besides, I can understand no serial ports or floppy on the consumer model,
but on the professional model? All the expensive graphics tablets like my
12x12 are serial. At least they've still got a ADB port, they're actually
includeing the iMac keyboard and mouse on the Pro model?!?!? I'm supposed
to give up my Apple Extended Keyboard for that piece of S***?
