Jim, Re: Seems like USB is a step backwards. Isn't it slower than SCSI? What kind of background are you coming from ? Seems that you know how to plan to sell a $399 computer for 20%+ profit but don't know much able these basic computer stuff. USB and SCSI are not in the same league. The only overlap I know is scanner which actually don't need SCSI(there is many parallel port version now). Initially, it requires SCSI is because there isn't a standard interface for connecting external device that can satisfy the speed requirement of a scanner need. But that is history since the introduction of ECP/EPP port. >I was also surprised to hear that Apple used IDE HDs in >some of their models. Why not ? It is much cheaper. Will you use SCSI harddisk in your $399 computer ? Gary
