We're not effeminate, we're just in touch with our female side.

EDIT

I went into town at lunchtime and looked at the Macs in John Lewis. They had a G4 'anglepoise' iMac for £1,450, which is a full £100 more than the starting price of the top-of-the-range G5 model. I'd be feeling very sick indeed if I'd just gone and bought one of those ... but I can't help thinking there might be a mega-bargain to be had next month when they start displaying the new ones. John Lewis seems to take about £100 off ex-display and end-of-line stock in its Audio/video/computer department, but in this case a £100 reduction would make their G4 iMac the same price as the new ones. Thing is, now I've seen the new one, I don't want a G4 anymore, funky though it is. No bargain for me.

Something interesting I did see, however, was one of their 20" studio displays on a stand. The design is very much consistent with the new iMac, so it was a bit of a taster of what a new 20" iMac will look like 'in the flesh'.
