It would probably be cheaper to get a G4 tower and a 21" CRT and you would probably end up with a faster and more upgradeable computer, though you would loose the small footprint of the iMac.

This is effectively the same as just making the resolution of a LCD screen smaller -- the fonts get more blurred (let alone the benefits of sub-pixel rendering), the bitmaps likewise. The feature I mentioned still preserves the font sharpness. I also presume Tiger will ship with widget bitmaps in bigger sizes (the icons are already promised to jump from 128x128 to 256x256, to match Longhorn's), so the bitmap sharpness will also be preserved, at least to some extent. Am I missing something?
