iMacs are for the normal joe-shmoe.  If you're a power user and want to
use a Mac, get a PowerMac G3 (the tower).  I don't remember the specs, but
they're okay for a Mac...

I like Mac Powerbooks... nice, compact, fast, and do work well.  Just make
sure you've got all the updates and patches for your software, since Mac
software lately has been going unstable due to what they're doing with the
OS...
