Does anyone know what kind of fancy-looking computer Jerry has now in his apartment??

This new computer looks like some futuristic device with a flat screen and a very large front profile. It has been shown on several of the most recent episodes this season, including "The Bookstore" and "The Apology". Once it was on Jerry's desk by the window, and another time it was near the kitchen counter when Kramer was screwing around in Jerry's place while Jerry was gone.

I have never seen this kind of computer before? What exactly is it? Is there really such an item on the market? What brand? He used to use a Macintosh, but this doesn't look like anything conventional, pc or mac.

Is anyone familiar with this/seen it in a store?

It is a 20th anniversary Mac, basically it is a color, active matrix, LCD flat screen (more commonly used on laptops) put on a desktop stand. It is however much better than the laptop version, I believe a 15-16" model by Viewsonic is currently running about $4,000.00. I don't know the current price of the 20th aniv. Mac. Allen

The only thing that stays the same is everything changes........

I haven't seen it, but what you describe sounds like one of those flat monitors. The name escapes me now. Fairly common amongst the rich now.

Actually, it's the 20th anniversary Mac. There were only a limited number made, and they're quite pricey. Needless to say, I'd LOVE to have one. It's just a shame Jerry hardly ever uses it. Maybe he'll donate it to me when he's done with the show. ;-)

I know its a Mac, but I have also noticed on ocassion that he has either the Windows 95 box or a book on Windows 95 right next to it. What is up with that?

Macs can have Windows 95 now. My sister's does. Personally, I think it's totally retarded because Macusers are always complaining that IBM compatibles are "so complicated and impossible to figure out!", but that's exactly what they're using. Plus, Macs are a lot more expensive, harder and more expensive to upgrade, and slower.
