Hi Mark THINK many folks got bogged down with iMAC details

IBM's new line of LOW PRICED light & thin ThinkPads provided indication that DOCKING STATIONS are in the Notebook/NC plan .

By offloading optional notebook features the price is lowered plus these features become available to ALL porting (NC incl.) users .

Suspect the iMACS' handle will fit many hands worldwide .

Further interesting is IBM's new G5 Superserver (Mainframe) . This is the 1st time I've noticed that either UNIX or IBM's OS/390 can be the host OS , on a server mostly designed for large desktop networks .

Large scale OSs are expensive and UNIX based NeXT was a solid real time transaction processing OS , but overkill for a INTC platform .

Can't help but wonder if S. Jobs visions a form of Rhapsody to be marketed to as a guest OS on these super-servers .

Guess we will find out next week at the WWDC .

Regards,
Jim K.
