Just keep in mind that the original iMac received its share of denigration, as did the flat panel iMac (the "cute" name takeoffs were similarly kitchen or household oriented… toaster, etc. vs. Cheese Grater). The new design is "underwhelming" because good or great design is often seen as either too outrageous or too bland. The G5 is a clean and exceptionally beautiful example of form following function. The G5 is for those who want a design that shouts performance while keeping its voice lowered... who want something they won't regret having on their desktop a year from now... something that has staying power... something that equates equally well with words like "power," "quality," "class," "intelligence," and "state of the art" ? I think you're looking at it. It's, if you'll allow my bad pun, elemental. It may not be "one size fits all," but it’s a hell of a good looking "Aluminum box."
