Always loved the lamp-style iMac. I wonder if, had Apple switched to Intel sooner, the lamp model might have lasted a few more iterations. It's main failing, as I recall, was that the G5 chip needed too much space/cooling to work in the "lamp base".

there may be a nugget in that statement...


I'm guessing efficiency wasn't the G5 CPU's strongest point.

Case in point. They got it squeezed into the G5 iMac, which was a cooling/ventilation disaster.
