<<The less techno users even came to believe that PCs were faster and easier to use, not realizing things like 66mhz Quadra vs. 233mhz Pentium.>> Exactly. My mom's an art teacher in a pc-only high school. She's thinking about bringing in my sister's II SE and my worry is that it will be compared to the more modern pcs in the computer lab. Better to write a grant for an iMac, I'd think. I hope Apple is giving iMac priority to colleges right now. I dropped by the UC-Berkeley student computer store (buried in an administrative building) and the place was jammed. Not having a computer available by the beginning of school is the kind of thing that can drive someone to Windows. I'd rather schools get them now and consumers wait a bit, if necessary. If Apple is building 8000 a day, I'm sure consumer backorders will be mostly filled by the end of Sept. anyway. I also saw the AIO for the first time. Wow. I have to agree with Soup about it being compelling in a bulldog-ugly kind of way. Seems that my local Mac stores are out of 250 mhz PBs. We did have a report on the MF board that someone got theirs from the Apple Store recently, after ordering in mid-July. If Apple is catching up to the demand from mid-July, then I think things are going okay, because orders were huge by that point. Did somebody call the iMac Biondi-blue last night? Are you a Cal grad or just a swimming fan? :) Marc
