Apple building a sub-$600 iMac.

Of course I'd have to see the specs, but if they're talking about a G4 with some way of adding a lot of memory, I might be sold.

It is  1.25GHz G4 with 256Mb supplied (upgradable).

BTW to change the subject. Does OS-X allow you to get under the hood and access the *nix core? Or are you still stuck with the GUI?

You can change most things with a few extra utilities, such as {bleep}tail and Tinkertool (both freely available).

And if you like to get your hands dirty, as someone else said, use the CLI.

Ewww!! CRAPINTOSH!!! Seriously.. Mac is FARTHER from Amiga then PC! Mac has always been the simple PC that's "easy". (More like retarded in my opinion.) There isn't a single reason why anyone should buy these things.

A PC is more Amiga then Mac! At least it has knowledgable geeks! Why can't Mac just die???

I have a Macintosh here at my desk, and the only thing I can see on it that is retarded is your post.

Somebody PLEASE change the topic for it is misleading. It is a sub $499 Mac, NOT $600.

[HopperJF]

Yes but sub $499 sounds much more attractive than sub $600.
