I was seduced by the original iMacs with their colored translucent casing, giving a hint of the technology that lay beyond. Apparently I was not alone as several million of the machines have sold and numerous third parties have come out with semi-translucent products in different colors that match the iMac. Will the complete see-through iMacs be accepted in the marketplace the same way the translucent ones were. I do not know how I would respond to them up close.
Translucence is one thing - full backside nudity is another.
Other than that the new iMacs are very, very impressive. The array of features that you are getting for the price is just phenomenal. It is quiet clear that what Apple is selling us is, at least in part, Art. I believe that is to a certain extent how Apple approaches their products, artistically. It is definitely how Jobs sees Apples products - as aesthetic pieces, constantly pushing forward the creative envelope.
