Perhaps, but if we DIDN'T do the gallery then a bunch of Apple fanboys would be running all over us demanding shots. It's easier to just take the pics and let people decide whether they want to click (instead of not providing the option).
you know, I actually do mind the unboxing pics. still not sure who came up with the idea... I can get excited about how something looks, and certainly about how it performs... but how it's packaged? forget it.
@StreetStealth Dude- you should pester you work into sending you machine back for an upgrade. The Apple store has a price gaurantee for 2 weeks. And I would guess that any _good_ reseller would have a similar policy.
What the hell is Ryan's comment doing not high ranked!!!! Pay your respects you ungrateful bastards. A few months ago nothing like this would have happened. This site has been going DOWNHILL since the redesign i'm tellin ya!!!!

It is worth unboxing pics when nothing externally has changed?
you know you are a fanboy when you get a new system every time they update it
i was gonna say exactly that! :D
I was just wondering the same thing. I don't even mind unboxing galleries, but it seems kind of pointless if the product hasn't changed.

I think they are the pics of the old imac.
Yeah, this seems a bit unnecessary but from the standpoint of your comment, Ryan, I understand.
The unboxing is there to remind people like me of last week.
When I unboxed a 24" iMac at work.
Right before the update.
Sigh.

Yes, the pics are worthy because there are newbies, like me, everyday. :)
