iMac Rebirth Announcement

Yes, there was a happy event last week. It's the rebirth of iMac - the birth, in fact, of an all-new iMac family. Redesigned from top to bottom, the three new iMac models are sleeker and more beautiful than ever before. They're faster than ever, too. There's a PowerPC G3 processor in every model - so speedy it outraces even the fastest Pentium III. But that barely begins to describe what's amazing about the new iMac. A couple of teasers: - The built-in RAGE 128 VR graphics accelerator blazes through 3D games. - The revolutionary digital audio system (brought to you by Apple and Harman Kardon) delivers adrenaline-pumping hi-fi sound. But maybe the hottest feature of all is the groundbreaking digital video technology that comes with the two iMac DV models. It's like having the magic of Hollywood inside your computer. Grab The Popcorn And Sit Back Two of the three new iMac models are called iMac DV. DV stands for digital video. The iMac CD-ROM drive has been replaced with a DVD-ROM drive, which means you can pop in a DVD movie (easier than ever, because now the drive is slot-loading) and suddenly your computer is a personal movie theatre - you see a full-screen, hi-res image with incredible sound. To get you started, Apple has included a movie with every iMac DV: ""A Bug's Life,"" the first completely digital animated feature. Sneak a preview at http://www.apple.com/imac/dv.html.
