Jim, re: iMac I was in the new CompUSA in Sawgrass today. The store was jammed, but nobody looking at the iMac system. (Sound on the unit was just terrible!) One isle over was an IBM Aptiva with K6-300 and monitor for less money. They also had a number of Compaq and HP K6 machines. (I see the HP with K6-2/333 with 15" monitor is now on the shelves at around $1500). As for USB, I agree with the poster that said that's the future, but other than a cheap visioneer scanner, didn't see any USB peripherals in the store. I think the target market for iMac is newbee's, particularly for those wanting to get on the net. With Apple spending $100 Million on iMac advertising, I wonder how long it will take just to recoup the marketing costs? They claim they have orders for 150,000 machines, but my guess is this is mostly retailers/resellers. Can't count it as revenues till it sell's out of the channel!
