Rocky. Zip is the number one requested add on to the new G3's, in fact ethernet is geared more towards business and not the individual user, hence the reason that Mr. Jobs accidentally forgot to includ a modem in all of the G3's shipped to Apple Distributers not to mention the sucess of companies such as Novell and Sun. I don't know too many people that have ethernet in their homes for networking products and peripherals although SOHO is a rapidly growing market, they are complimentary products, people will use ethernet to share a modem and printer and files but storage will still be needed. I'd have a hard time taking files home without a zip. Intel has a road map that shows the death of legacy I/O such as parallel and com ports as well as floppy drive, this does not fare well for Sony or Imation, if Intel and Apple say we dont need a floppy then backwards compatibility is a moot point. If you are such a fan of Ethernet then perhaps you can come over to the 3Com board and share your new found religion. Please post a link to where it references the Orb as an OEM for the new powerbooks. Regards, Jeff Sheeran
