Alomex, your right the thread has a tendency to swing to rampant, unsustainable optimism at times. At first blush the iMac seemed like a vehicle that would really propel the stock but the more I read this thread the more concerned I get. The iMac is not targeted to users of this thread, the G3 desktop and tower are. The iMac is targeted towards 1st time buyers and 2nd computer buyers same as the low end Wintels. Hence it should be clearly less capable that the G3's or it risks canabalizing the G3 product line. If Apple intends to offer the iMac with faster processors etc., then they've just created two overlapping product lines. You can see from this thread that that already appears to be happening. I hope we don't see postponed G3 buyer this quarter in favor of waiting for the iMac. Based on the response on this thread I think it's a real possibility. Apple needs to clearly define iMac's market by keeping it less attractive than the G3 desktop and tower. Rich
