Get a fast G4 processor, slot-loading Combo or SuperDrive and a reliable operating system in a body just 6.5-inches square and 2-inches tall. Simply add monitor, keyboard and mouse. You’ll be organizing music and photos, composing tunes and editing movies with iLife ’05 in no time. Surf the Internet with the peace of mind of the reliable Mac OS X Tiger operating system.
