| 582103 | 2007-08-18 23:18:00 | Agreed. I think Metla was just trying to create his usual train wreck on this thread. He seems to have an appetite for destruction:rolleyes: :( You don't have the capacity to think fanboy. |

| 582104 | 2007-08-18 23:31:00 | I can assure you as an owner of a 20-inch iMac, it would be very unlikely to get knocked off a desk. They are much heavier than they look and pretty solid. Of course, you could always attach it to the desk somehow if the children are really that out of control. It would be very hard to "accidently" knock one off a desk. :p I think I'm going to side with Metla on this one, While my G4 imac had a nice solid base and was hard to move, the new is just as heavy, but I could see it being pushed over a lot easier then the old one. Although I have never had any problems with my children, I can see his point. |

| 582105 | 2007-08-18 23:34:00 | I would say that you will notice a considerable difference in speed between the old G4 chip to the new C2D chip. My old mac did the job just fine, any encoding I let it do it overnight. Didn't need a new one, just wasn't going to buy my son a new one and me be stuck with an old one. But yes I'm sure I will see an improvement. |

| 582106 | 2007-08-18 23:37:00 | :( You don't have the capacity to think fanboy. So I should have just left out the "I think" and put "Metla was just creating a train wreck" since it was pretty obvious and left it at that. :) |

| 582107 | 2007-08-18 23:46:00 | The reason I said you can't think is because your so blind you think anyone pointing out something they don't like the look of is just trying to cause trouble. Look at the above posts. I dunno man, Sometimes I almost feel sorry for you with your blind devotion, Surely you have the capacity to stick your brain into gear? |

| 582109 | 2007-08-19 00:24:00 | While I am sure that they do suffer from the usual technical faults and breakdowns including worn peripherals, Apple doesn't seem to have any problem with iMacs being broken or knocked to the ground buy younger/teenage customers in its 170+ Apple Stores around the world which are often very busy and crowded so I don't see why they would have any major issues with the same iMacs in schools. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 582110 | 2007-08-19 00:29:00 | ssshhh lad, Its over. | Metla (12) | ||
| 582111 | 2007-08-19 00:35:00 | Just knock it off you two. I like you both, don't spoil it for me, please. PJ:annoyed: | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 582112 | 2007-08-19 08:13:00 | ssshhh lad, Its over. If one of the iMacs gets knocked off a table I'll let you guys know how it copes with the drop. I see that somebody has done a drop test with an iPhone, but I'm not aware of anybody drop testing an iMac. Kids do stupid things... so who knows. Finding solid large tables tends to be the main problem. TCO also involves finding a desk that will not fall over... with space for the keyboard and mouse. It is hardly worth claiming insurance on just a plain old LCD when a school has an excess of $500, so doing some serious damage to an iMac could work out to be better in some circumstances. |
