John Rougeux Gone Registered: 11/06/08 Posts: 5028	What's wrong with this picture? Quote: Evolution of iMac. It was a great idea then, and it�s a great idea now. The all-in-one design of the first flat-panel iMac cleaned up the desktop. It put everything you need � display, processor, graphics card, hard drive, optical drive, memory, and more � inside one simple enclosure. Today, iMac is the gold standard for an all-in-one desktop computer. _________________________ It was nice knowing you all....

That's why we wondered why they only included the flat panel and did not mention the gumdrop. Although the 20th Anniversary Mac was an AIO it wasn't an iMac, which is what the article was about. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Now my site needs a banner

Jim_ aka Reboot Registered: 04/21/02 Posts: 10105 Loc: Columbus OH	I guess since laptops can sit on the desktop too they are also AIO desktops. I'm so confused. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Now my site needs a banner
