Hi folk,
I've just been notified of some money "sitting around" that I could
use to get some new computers, and the person I was talking to
suggested iMacs. I've never been a fan of iMacs, but the price is
starting to draw me into at least considering them (even though the
new ones scare me just because of the off-the-wall design -- can
somebody say "G3 Cube"?).
But then there are other issues. One way they're keeping the cost
down on these things is by only providing a 15" flat screen monitor
with it. I understand the advantages of having a flat screen, but do
they make up for that size? 15" is darn small these days even for
regular work, let alone for eyesight-intensive stuff like graphics and
music, which is what we'll be concentrating on.
I'd also like to have something faster than 800MHz, but I can
overlook that if I can get past the screen issue. Can any of you
say from experience that the 15" flat screen will work as well as a
17" or 19" Trinitron CRT in the visual arts and music?
TIA,
Bob
