<<I miss, from past times, is the critical analysis that appeared here from a number of people. >> Yea! Where's Twister? You want critical? Apple needs to push an inexpensive consumer machine. The iMac line is getting there. The cube would probably sell more if they took the price down a few notches. Apple's early success was in creating a simple all-in-one box/monitor combo with ready to go software. Phase II of that success followed shortly thereafter when Apple built the DTP industry (print communications) by astounding the world with a laser printer that cost under $1000 in 1985, coupled with easy-to-use publishing software (PageMake 1.0). They have re-created that success today with the iMac (Phase I). What will be Phase II? My guess they will move away from the high-tech industry to something more hi-touch. Some kind of personal communications/productivity "thing". Will it be software to run on the iMac? Will it be a handheld device? For it to really be a blockbuster, it must be a a total suprise. Unfortunately, we want a hint. -Bill_H
