Shhh. Now now now. There are prosumer PCs that cost $3,000, so let's not even go there.
I remember the rumors about moving ports to the front of the machine, anyone think it will happen?
Also, any word on new graphics cards? The GeForce 2 and 4 just aren't cutting it anymore. Yeah, they're just as good as a consumer Dell, but OS X is so graphics heavy, all the video RAM you can get, right?
Also, a quick question on AirPort Extreme. I read reports that Bluetooth had serious effects on 802.11b speeds, is it the same with 802.11g? Also, does AirPort Extreme have some proprietary system to fix any issue that may occur?

I do see 20" as the next logical step in screen size. Monitors keep getting bigger and bigger, and prices are bound to fall (if not in this lifetime) to the point where the 20" would be logical.

This is just my opinion, but 20" just seems way too top heavy (remember when you first saw the 17"s IN REAL LIFE? ;) ) Also, I sorta think the iMac would lose its appeal with white cords sticking all out the front.
But it's just an opinion!:D

Personally, I think the 17" looks too small still. I also don't like the front ports idea, but it could also lead into a base revision, which may lead into larger screens.
Domino effect based on sketchy rumors, I love it!

Also, do Macs always come out on Tuesdays like DVDs, CDs, major books, etc.? This has always puzzeled me, but I was thinking that it could be from like the 50's and 60's (mabye later) when stores didn't open on Sunday or Monday, so the first day of the week that items could be sold was Tuesday.
I think this has to do more with even if they ship them Saturday, they won't get there till Monday and then the crews have to unpack and set them up that night for Tuesday.
That's my guess at least. Most videogames have ship dates of Mondays but you can't get them in the stores until Tuesday.
