Yes I was biased...
thanks for noticing but keep your ******* on...

No_Axe was trying to compare the Dell to "his" iMac (if he really does own one) in reply to the previous post...

>>> There's already something like that out there. It's been out for a few years now. It's called the iMac. And the iMac costs $1299 or so. >>>

Poster says "something like that", not the same or better than the Dell yet No_Axe was taking a cheap swipe at a product with fewer features, different market/purpose and thus less expensive (iMac).... trying to compare Apples and lemons. Along with the constant barbs that Apple products are always so expensive and "elitist" (compared to "PCs") when Dell now seems to be taking the high-price, "elitist" road.

The iMac does have good speakers (built in, sounds really nice on my new Mactel 20" iMac... but you wouldn't know about things you never experience or own); it (20") may weigh over 18 lbs but it doesn't suffer from an identity crisis as it isn't intended to be carted around, it's designated as a desktop unit, not a pseudo/pretend, sort of laptop; and the Apple-bashing, whining Wintel weenie fanbase is just as irritating, if not more so. I forgot to mention the best feature... it comes with OS X (and lots of high quality apps) and not Windows (though running that plus Linux is an option, can you say the same?).

Just thought I'd "mention" it and thanks for asking happy
