[Cialug] Apple Store

It costs $2350, but is it really worth that much? :p

I admit that the new G5 iMac thing is neat looking, but it's essentially 
a laptop with external keyboard. I'd rather have the laptop and plug in 
a usb keyboard when I need it. If I bought a desktop PC for that much 
money, I would expect to be able to update the video card so it's not 
obsolete in a year.

p.s. YellowDog Linux just had a new release...
