flavors would be kinda dumb and "fruity". and the g3 is not getting old. only if you are a hardcore graphics/video professional it is. other that that, it runs great for everything that the home user needs. and dvd on an imac sounds like a waste to me, just buy a dvd player

KY or NC, take your pick.
Myst III

I heard that Myst III on a dvd is coming out soon. This is the only logical reason I see for getting a DVD player in an imac. And I do think the "flavors" are kind of strange. I'd stay with the ones we have now, blue, gray,and white.

agreed, a lot of prrograms are starting to use dvd discs-encyclopedias and such.

the only problem is that dvd drives spin and read slower, so when you are using a regular cd, you get dicked.

agree to NO DVD

I definitly agree with the no dvd thing. DVDs on a desktop are a waste. Laptops are okay. The only exception is the DVD-Rs in the G4s. The coolness overrules the impracticalness :)
