Myself, I think the monitor is too small. The keyboard isn't to my liking since I got use to the MSFT type. And I question why the CD-rom isn't a DVD. Scrapps, I am not defending the IMac but I do believe I know Apple's strategy. The look of the box is nothing like a typical computer. It is intended to be placed in a family room or living room and fit right in. The box has no business look about it whatsoever. The indende use is really to surf the net and maybe balance ones checkbook if one likes that kinf of thing on a computer. The CD ROM was strictly designed to add software and play some games. Price was a real issue to Apple in this model. The DVD would be nice but I suspect Apple felt they could sell as many without one. The CD ROM is likely adequate. Neither you nor I would buy this machine. I do use Macs because I have used them for years. I do a lot of graphics work for advertisements for my store. Also, they are easier for non computer literate employees to use at my business. I found Windows was more difficult for them to grasp though far from impossible. I am quite comfortable on both platforms and believe I could do an excellent job in comparing the strengths and weakneses (sp) of both machines. I love my DELL and my Power Mac G3 among others. I use compueters more than 8 hours daily as I suspect you may. Processor speed, monitor size, etc. is all important to me. We are not the norm. The problem still lies with Apple getting Wintel converts. I doubt that will happen now sice there are so many more Wintel machines. That was an error cause by John Scully years ago in pricing the Mac way out of line. That is my opinion. Glenn
