Not crazy about the iMac G4 design (too many with limp necks). But I
really like the rest of the iMac designs over the years. Very cool.
sigh. Now if only they were easier to repair. Good industrial
design should, IMO, include easy-open / access features. Yea, I know
- Jobs is anti-user upgrade. But geeze - 90% of the bench time
should NOT be taken up by just opening and closing a machine!
Apple is somehow schizo in its CPU designs: or it made them VERY
EASY to
open and upgrade (Centris 660/PowerMac 6100, LC I/II/III/Performa 475,
PowerMac 8600/PowerMac Beige G3, Mac G4 Cube, Blue and White G3 and
all
other minitower CPUs before the G5) or TERRIBILY DIFFICULT to open and
upgrade (the original 128k and all other compact all-in-one Macs
based on
it, the Quadra 840/PowerMac8100/PowerMac 8500, the PowerMac 4400/7220
series, all iMacs in general, MacMinis).
The iMac G3 slot-loaders arent hard to open, not as easy as the
PowerMacs, but a lot easier than the tray loaders...
