Agree that the iMac is aimed at 1st time PC buyers. I was reacting to posts on this thread that proposed adding features to the iMac. If the iMac is allowed to have SCSI interface cards, faster processors, increased Ram, etc. you end up with a very stylish G3 and that will screw up the product lines that are presently reasonably well defined.
As an aside, the AIO seems to be kind of an odd man out product. Very similar to the iMac. Additionally, the iMac will appeal to students, obviously, witness this thread. I wonder if the AIO was a product in the pipeline Jobs couldn't stop?
As regards USB my point is that there will be a much richer USB peripherals environment if Win98 launches than if it doesn't. This richer environment will make the iMac all that more attractive to it's target market. Rich
