Are you running Leopard or Snow Leopard ?
I;m running SL although I must admit that there are more beach balls with snow leopard. But, no problems with Flash, screen, nor sound. I'm thinking about going back to Leopard because it just worked!

I dont think it gets any worst than Apple fanboys
People want to do work with their computers. They don't want to create slideshows and upload them to youtube using quicktime.
I just came back from the apple store in zurich and sorry to say that but this new Imacs are pure crap!!!!
1.) I tested the model with 3.06 GHz 4GB RAM blablabla....1 stupid Flash Animation made the whole machine going mad (CPU 96%)
2.) If you move the safari browser window around from one side of the desktop to the other side the CPU Load also goes up to 93%
3.) Websites ...try to scroll up and down...it looks like the system can't handle that 100% perfect......it does not run smoothly
There were no applications in the background....just nothing.
WTF....sorry
Not happy w/ SL - performance suxs, constant app crashes; finder randomly recycles - ready to toss the whole kit-n-caboodle out the door and go back to XP/Win7.
I had a Tx2 for a while, and I was impressed. And this was in the Vista SP2 days. No multi touch, but it was beautiful taking notes and making diagrams.
Too bad it get hot as hell.
Anyways, I'm sure once Apple releases some sort of multi touch monitor you'll be all over it and how better it is and how innovating it is, even though someone else did it first.
I have absolutely no desire to reach my arm(s) up toward a perpendicular screen, situated 3' in back of the keyboard, as this would grow tiresome after a short while.
Judging from the prevalence of fingerprints on many monitors, your 3' distance seems to be larger than average.
I agree that a "touch-only" system would be tiring.
However, touch as another available input paradigm in addition to keyboard/mouse is very handy. Poking the "submit" button on a web page is quicker and more natural than
1. Find your mouse
2. Move the mouse so that you can find the cursor
3. Move the cursor over the "submit" button
4. Press the mouse in the correct way to register an MB1 event
I think Linux fanboys are worse, you know, "Free is better!", "Everyone can use Linux!", "I can get x for free and it's as good as y!" etc.
And there are Windows fanboys too. There's fanboyism everywhere. And quite frankly, excluding crazy-ignorants, the Apple fanboys are the most reasonable of them.
And they can perfectly work on Macs...so what's the problem? For many people working is better on Macs (especially when it is media-related, and that is work too,)
A touch computer outside of a tablet holds no appeal to me whatsoever, as I don't really care to have to fatigue associated with it. Even the stuff that would be cool, I'd much rather just use a Wacom.
A trackball and a Wacom for me would be better than a touchscreen.
Couldn't agree more.
Supposedly there's a kitchen PC market that those easel style HP TouchSmart appeals to.I mean it's great there's that option for people on the Windows side, I just don't miss it at all on the Mac side. The fact that there are HP PC's similar to the iMac but with touch just isn't a selling point. I'm not sure what it would be good for.

Bad example and that wouldn't be an entrée...and our next featured entrée will be.... eh....ew!

I can understand the desire for a computer in the kitchen with a TV tuner in it. Just get the Windows Media Center remote and you can touch when you need it.

A TV doesn't run Windows Media Center, Hulu, etc.Why not just get a TV then?
You're usually standing up in the kitchen. A wireless keyboard and mouse would work but why do that when you can touch/tap your way through today's weather and news while you drink your coffee?This, would then, defeat the purpose of having a touch screen in the first place.
