The new Apple iMac G5

Those who know me know I like Apple (even though I don't own any Apple products (saving up for the iPod though)). Anyways, their new iMac G5 is a great looking computer whick makes me green with envy of those who are able to afford one. However, they still have 256 MB SDRAM as the default configuration (they can go up to 2GB). Why on earth would anyone buy a new computer with only 256 MB RAM? Sure you can specify that you want more RAM when you order one, but really 512 MB should be the standard option. That said, I really love the slot-loading combo/superdrive and the fact that even the power supply is built-in.
