I poked around on some Macs in a local CompUSA, having become curious about OS X and the new iMac. OS X was slower than I expected (not smooth on stuff like dragging windows) on the new iMacs and eMacs, and the 15" flat-panel display on the iMac still seems a bit small. But on the 2-processor G4, hooked up to a 22" flat screen Apple Cinema Display, running a number of apps including an animated mathematical simulation, OS X ran fast and looked by-God impressive. (If the folks at CompUSA had some sense, that would have been sitting in front of the entrance rather than at the back of the store.)
