New iMacs Released

The new iMac kinda looks like a raccoon with that black outline. It's ok but I was hoping for a really big redesign. I guess the next one is the redesigned one.
Anyone know the song in the ad?

Weird Messages from the store
Hi all,
I dunno if this always occurs at a product refresh, but the store is doing some odd things. For at least the last 10 minutes I have been getting strange messages after trying to open either the "new iMac" page or the "new Mac Mini" page.
First:
Did not receive any response from application. It is possible that the application does not exist, or that the requested url is incorrect.
Then:
No instance available

Well, now it says the store is down again, so they must have noticed, and are probably fixing it by the time this is posted. Just noticed and thought it was kinda interesting.

Sorry if this has been said, but anyone else notice they took off the Apple logo on the command key? Now it has the pin wheel thing and "command".

So the new iMac looks like a giant iPhone. We should have expected that.
iLife'08 looks like a nice incremental improvment over '06.
iWork'08, with a true word processing interface and spreadsheet, will banish all Micro$oft apps from my home computers. Hopefully we'll do the same at work because we no longer need Word's track changes feature (all documents are checked into subversion).
I still think Apple is looking at .Mac from the wrong perspective, but the changes they've made today should slow the exodus of frustrated users.
Two things I really hated about today's announcement:
1. "It's an all in one world" - Steve Jobs
2. Glossy displays
Translation:
1. We'll NEVER introduce a consumer tower/desktop.
2. Oooo shiny!
My response to Apple:
1. I'll NEVER buy another new Mac (hooray for the used market)
2. Over-saturated colour. Sorry Apple, another step toward mediocrity I won't be taking with you.

Mac Mini has a "New" graphic on it at the store, though I get the "store is down" page when I click on it. Maybe I can get my parents to move over to Macs finally.
The big difference is the processor/motherboard. Laptop chips/mobos (as in the old iMac) run slower, have a slower system bus and can't take as much memory.
First time I've ever seen a page error on the Apple.com site. Thought I'd capture it for posterity.
Soo Good and Me happy
Very good design improvement - even though I still like the snow-white iMac.
I was in the US-store and it said one could order 2.8 Ghz Extreme CPU but then I got thrown out

ooh. i like. Very sexy.
However, is there no way of VESA mounting a 20" imac? I was just about to buy one but strangely for me that's actually a killer. It will have to be a mac mini with my Dell screen after all.
No mention of vouchers for OS upgrades - how long would i have to wait for that?

Lots of people quibble about 'the chin'. I had a new iMac for 2 weeks in April, and I loved the chin- great place to put stickies on.
That's true...haha
Also the black around the screen makes the chin look smaller than it really is...
