I have seen the NBN, and it looks a lot like Christina Aguilera.

Yet behind the streaming TV, one question lingers -- and not even the government seems able to answer it.

A few other all-in-ones make this 20-inch iMac look expensive on a dollars-per-screen-inch basis, but none are as attractive or as capable juggling multiple programs.
