I just want to remind everyone that Jobs is the guy who introduced the world to the ultrastylish NeXT Cube years ago WITHOUT A HARD DISK -- he believed the future was magnetooptic. Well, the next cube lovely as it was died. It was too cool. It was too visionary. Too bold. The consumer wasnt bold. The consumer was NOT interested in taking risks, in being visionary. The consumer was wowed but didnt buy. NeXT hardware died and they became a software only company. The imac makes me think 'Jobs hasnt changed'. You're forgetting some important differences here. The NeXT cube was exhorbitantly expensive and ran a completely new operating system. The iMac, by any standard, is inexpensive for what you get, and runs the same old Mac OS and software we all know and love.
