Bill I think what Paul is trying to say is that the G3 is not in this market. I don't know why everyone thinks Apple intends to go here. One of Jobs' main talking points is reducing the product line to 4. The pro desktop - G3, the consumer desktop - iMac, the pro portable - G3 powerbook and the consumer portable to be announced. Now where exactly is a top of the line server or graphics machine. The G3 can't scale up either in slots, number of processors or even ram. There's been alot of talk about Apple moving into this but not from Apple. Would that be 5 product lines, or 6 if they make a server. It may be that this refresh will give G3 machine a less limited motherboard but I haven't seen anything official about that. It could be Apple has decided to make quality computers for consumers and small business as well as "light" graphics and design work and I think that might work out well for them. By the way I've heard but don't have the links that the PII Xeon systems with 4 processors give Ultrasparc a run for the money performance wise and kill them on a price/performance basis but I can't vouch for the accuracy of those benchmarks. Just something I saw in passing produced by Intel. Rich
