On a lighter note,

MUCH lighter, since we're talking about Macs... ;-) (just warming you up for
what is to come below...)

imagine how a webbased computer shop would describe its
products in LEGO DIRECT style:

New iMac. $1399. Product information:
"Get ready for an adventure. The iMac has landed on your home planet EARTH 1
and you are called upon to harnass its power. Only you can direct its sleek
screen panel to reflect solar radiation from outer space. Stroke its rounded
belly to activate its secret contents and let your imagination guide you.
Includes mission CD-ROM. May compute."

This is a fitting write up. Very well done. After all, the Mac *is* a toy.

However I would take issue with that last sentence, "May compute." ... has
that actually been *shown* to be the case?

Well maybe. I suppose it's true. After all, the Speak'n'Spell that ET used
"may compute" too, I guess.

GRIN, DUCK, RUN REALLY FAST!

  Usefulness of product description on shop.lego.com
 
Jake, As noted before ((URL) I would really appreciate some serious product information before buying, especially on expensive sets.
