And best of all it's free! All you need is some extra heavy-weight paper and lots of free time. Oh, and I highly recommend not smoking around your paper iMac...otherwise you'll end up with a flaming Mac. <br /><br />Who says the internet is full of useless information? <br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/paperimac400173.jpg" />

lol... this is great. Now only if I could make paper transistors and capacitors...

[Ed Hansberry]

Nice. And it will be just as useful to me as a real imac. :lol:

[rzanology]

how useful is a real imac any way.

I assume you were joking, since paper transistors are a new concept (for paper electronic displays), while paper capacitors were quite common many years ago. Of course they were not 100% paper - only the dielectric. (You could make one by sandwiching layers of paper and foil and rolling the whole thing up and presto - do it yourself paper capacitors.) 8)

Paper display got nothing to do with fictive paper transistor. There are no transistors into a paper display.

I can just imagine someone asking "customer support" for this Mac...
Customer: My Paper Mac won't turn on.
Support: Try soldering the screen on better
Customer: Ok! *Solders the Paper* AAH! What do I do when it burns up in my face!?
Support: Buy one of the REAL Macs... I get commission from each person who converts from paper.
Customer: Oh no!!! :lol:

EDIT: Oops, I just realised how old this thread is... sorry!
