Re: " that incorporating significant design and pushing things like USB only was not such a bad thing." I agree - and so does Intel - that's why Intel invented it and has supported it with chips sets for 2 or 3 years! If you recall, Intel invented 32-bit instructions for the x86 processors about 10 years ago with the 386. Now it's 1998, and most of the world is still on a hybrid 16/32-bit operating system provided by those guys in Redmond. In fact, if it weren't for all that 16-bit legacy code still residing in Windows 98, Intel's processors would have an even greater lead over AMD's. About the iMac, I like it. Apple is bold enough to pull people away from legacy stuff like that accursed 3.5" floppy drive. They'll certainly take the heat for such forced moves, but then again, stuff like that is the norm in the Mac world. (e.g. Apple IIGS to Macintosh; 680x0 to PowerPC; now legacy devices to USB) Tenchusatsu
