You apparently haven't read earlier posts here detailing the rumored USB devices being developed by Apple, and the one announced yesterday by Panasonic and Imation. Yes, there will likely be no standard 1.4MB 3.5" floppy drive for the iMac, but there will be a much larger capacity super floppy (120MB) that is backward compatible with the older 1.4MB floppies. That sounds great! I was just commenting on some people saying floppies were obsolete or others saying college dorms were putting in Ethernet etc. etc. All I was saying was not the whole world had caught up to that point yet. If the price is anything near $A2000 here I might well buy one together with an external floppy to replace my 7100. I don't need expandibility just a reasonably fast machine that doesn't cost too much. A G3 accelerator card costs $A1850 here and wouldn't be as up to date as this. David
