René Magritte would be delighted. Hordes of clueless customers at a French computer store are unable to distinguish between the flat-screen iMac G5 and Apple’s flat-screen Cinema Displays, prompting a note on one of the monitors that reads: “Ceci N’est Pas Un IMac G5!”

(they’re selling like you wouldn’t believe. With Apple’s agreement (though they had to insist), the FNAC [huge French reseller for those who'd still don't know !] wouldn’t display much G5 iMacs just because they don’t have enough of them, nor can they give delivery dates.
The gap is such as for 1,600 preordered machines, they only got 150 delivered configurations.)
