LauA,

>>If you want to raise the ante, just wait a few weeks for similar kind of pricing on a Linux white box. Does everything you are talking about on a modern kernal, open architecture. Talk about expansion! performance wise it makes a Mac look like a YUGO.

With FireWire and USB why would a consumer need internal expansion slots? Sony has the right idea about interconnectivity, why add an internal CD when I should be able to use my DiscMan for the same purpose? Really high-end users may require slots but if consumer devices add either a USB or Firewire data port and use common data formats there would be no real need for a consumer to ever open his box.

Cheers,

Norm
