I didn't take much notice of the iMac G5 when it was introduced, but now rave reviews are popping up everywhere. Will this be the most popular Mac of all time? Even though I have an iBook at home, I have been thinking about getting the iMac G5 - big screen, bigger hard disk, speedy processor, and room to grow. But I'm not sure how the iMac would survive at home with small children. The iBook can always be put away from inquisitive fingers.

I read two weeks ago a hilarious book titled Thank You for Smoking by Christopher Buckley. This book appeared a few years back, so I'm wondering did it have some effect on the tobacco industry practices. At least it revealed (in a morbidly funny way) the actions of the "smokesmen" of the industry.
