The ultimate see and say

There's an iSight camera built into every new iMac, so you have easy start-up video conferencing abilities that enable you to start a video chat (or join one) at a moment's notice.

And the new Apple Remote lets you do your browsing from anywhere in the room. So gather your friends and dazzle them with a slideshow of your vacation pics, a home movie or a DVD. iMac was born to entertain.
