Dang. Less than six months since I bought mine, and already I have Mac envy again. Well, maybe I'll wait and let others beta test the new systems for me...

I've been holding out for a looooong time, faithfully adding RAM and a new HD to my Tibook G4 (yes, the original 400 MHz!). My old Tibook still does the trick for me. But that MacBook Pro is bringing on those shakes again.
Spot false dilemmas now, ask me how!

The underlying processor is pretty much immaterial for these types of programs.

Well, yeah. That's the whole point of the iMac line. If you don't want an integrates monitor, look at the other lines other than the iMac.
Sounds like you want something more along the lines of a Mac Mini or a PowerMac. These models are currently available with the PPC processor and should be switched over to Intel during this year.

My computer is giving me problems lately again, probably signalling me to upgrade.
