I doubt they'll manufacture a cheap box which has a decent system bus

A 1.6Ghz G5 with a 533mhz bus and a x8 AGP port ... it'd differentiate
from the iMac by its lack of monitor, and the P/Mac by it's slower
system bus! ... yeah yeah, it would cannibalise sales *sigh*.
However, one thing Oz will probably always have over Uk'ers is FM
transmitters for our iPods. Broadcasting of any kind (without a
licence) is illegal in Britain *nyuck nyuck*
Brought to you by the land of the TV detector van and the Television

So the stories say. My own search for the mythical black vans proved
fruitless. ;) I did get a sly word from an Apple store rep, who
*nod-nod wink-wink* told me where I might find FM transmitters which
may or may not have fallen off the back of a truck at a nearby
electrical retailer on Oxford Street. The rep's clandestine manner made
me chuckle. :)
