New iMac is out...
Drum roll please.... So the web is abuzz with the new iMac and the latest creation about how it's so thin and just a simple machine. For all of those betting it would be a tablet or at least include a digitizer, you know who you are; I'll take cash, check and credit cards! Of course it doesn't what did you really expect? Would it be great if it did. Sure! But it doesn't.
Actually the new design inspired me to go down to Fry's and pick up the biggest desktop replacement laptop I can get. One preferably with a 17 inch screen (though I'd probably settle for the 15" one that was only $799). So I figured that all of us who aren't Mac users could just engage in 2 minutes of case moding and have our own iMac knock offs. If you don't have a Tablet (like maybe the new Averatec that's low $) you can just buy any old laptop, and remove the screen and then turn it around. Then all you need next is to get a piece of metal to hold it up. I'll probably rumage for a broken LCD display and just rip off the base and then mount the laptop guts to the stand. For the extra $2.50 you could spray paint it white.
It's one of those days and I just couldn't resist.....
