Roy, - Speaking of Ethernet, why does the average consumer have any need for it? The cost to include 10/100BaseT Ethernet could have been foregone for a floppy drive, Zip drive, or both! Best thing Apple could do is offer Ethernet in a BTO config, not as standard equipment. I'm looking at the 100 base T as more of a clue than an engineering screw up. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think we should put on our thinking caps here and explore the possibilities. Maybe it's something like soup suggested, positioning the imac as a cheap client around a Rhapsody server. Maybe it's something else that will be tied with the imac in the next 90 days. This is a product that has been developed in the last 10 months, by a bunch of very bright, foreward thinking people. There's a lot of bright people on this thread. Let's see what we can come up with. Regards, Scott
