Roger, I have also heard from Mac consultants in town that G3 233 comparisons with high end PII machines are not that good - - but really - - this is marketing. Since when do you assume any claims in the tech market are absolute truths. Apple has shown in their chosen benchmarks a 40% advantage of PII 400s. That's all that's required to push that point which they should do every chance they get. Will it be disputed - - I have yet to see benchmarks that aren't. The average consumer will not get into the ins and outs of the benchmark test. The PC industry will likely not respond to Apple's ads as Apple is not a threat to them. You may see Pc Mag or someone review the iMac - so much the better, as you say iMac has other attractive qualities which they may very well bring out. As to the benchmarks - that issue can become so complex no one really knows the truth of it. Rich
