>>I was expecting to be able to "build an Apple", which had some interest to me, since I DON'T use Apples and was curious about the options, etc. I guess the "build an Apple" option must be there somewhere, but it was not readily apparent. And I suppose the features were described on those "good, better, best" pages,...<< You'll get to configure you Mac AFTER you choose one of the "good, better, best". The reason why everything seems more expensive is because the pre-configured bundle always included a monitor. After you make your selection you can take off what you don't want from the bundle, add things like larger HD, more memory, graphics card memory...etc etc. Eric

Jon, I have to admit I agree with you. What apple needs to do is stress the advantages of apples with stats. For instance most Wintel users don't know apples come with SCUZZY ports. I work in an NT lab at ucla but we all use the Mac lab to transfer files. Periferals just are so iffy on Wintel. Macs are way faster to me since I use floating point power usually, and the new one are faster on CPU and FPU, however most people don't need the kind of speed I need. Still think Rhapsody is the key. Will 3D Max or Alias or Softimage be ported? And will it work better than NT? Softimage on NT is bug ridden, full of incomprehensible bugs. Hope Rhapsody is better for all our sakes. By the way, ComputerWorld announced today that MicroSoft is will kill its concurrent licensing plan and that software costs for users will multiply. Does this surprise anyone, Bill just about owns us all. Doren
