You Say Undefensible, I Say Indefendable. Let's Call the Whole Thing Off ... >The 33.6 modem for an internet computer, on the other hand, is plain idiocy.< (How about very special idiocy. :0) Alomex; Actually I'm sure it's simply a matter of cost. APPL's putting its Geoport modem technology on the iMAc motherboard, so it doesn't cost them much. This technology's currently only good for 33.6K. It's not ridiculous not to want to (a) raise the price or (b) bust your margin for a technology you know will be obsolete well before the rest of the machine. Consistent with AAPL's refreshing new style of underpromising, they don't want to promise a 56K Geoport until the enabling software is ready. That being the case, the iMacs should be firmware upgradeable to 56K if it isn't already by August. soup PS> Indefensible.
