<and of course the site is currently only "available" to half Apple's customer base.> This is a great point, Marc. I still have my G3 on order, and the computer center here hasn't told me yet when the machines will be in (they were supposed to be here last Monday). And then I find out that the printer I ordered to go with the machine (Color StyleWriter 4500) is incompatible with the G3. Goody. Of course, I know that any hassle I have in getting this machine home is going to disappear as soon as I hear that beloved startup chime. Wait 'til the Web site opens to international and education buyers. I think this'll be big. For instance, check out these two sites: wolf.weeg.uiowa.edu This is the main page for the place that sells Macs on my campus. See how long it takes you to find any mention of the G3.... mpc.iastate.edu This is the home page for the computer purchase center at another one of the three Regents Institutions in Iowa. G3 on the front page, with links right to product....sheesh. At least we beat their football team every year. I'm keeping tabs on how quickly the G3s are sold out at my school (which has done no advertising) and at Iowa State, where ads for the machines have appeared in the student newspaper for a couple weeks. I think that when savvy students (not to mention faculty and staff) are able to order these machines over the Web, circumventing incompetent or resistant computer centers on their home campuses, educational sales will really take off (or at least increase significantly). We'll see. Good luck to all. Mark macaddict.com
