"A grizzled old coot enters an abandoned copper mine following directions on a tattered map. The humming light of his cool-plasma torch lights the way to a sealed, metal box. He pushes a pressurization button and the hiss of dry 20-year-old air blows the dust from the rocky ledge on which the box sits. He removes a pristine 20th century Mac from it's original packing and plugs it into a handheld power/communications link pulled from the pocket of his jacket. The glow of the torch is replaced by the steady blue tones of the ancient computer's TFT screen. The computer connects the Global Net. Suddenly! Alarms flash across the globe as millions of sentient, WinComs are beaten awake by the primitive rage of this rough-hewn machine. The computers shut down in fear. They have never encountered such a raw, machine intellect. No one has for twenty years... But a new revolution has started. The rebels are coming back from the hills." Bill, talk about a great scenario for an Apple commercial! It harks back to the great 1984 one. Keep up the imagery! Chuck

Four of my friends ordered the 20th Anniversary Mac this week. One come over to meet me for dinner 2 hours ago and decided to order one from AppleStore right then there... I think I'm going to carry this Spartacus to Taiwan tomorrow for my Dad...which means I'm going to hurry and order another one for myself tomorrow. One of my friend had the Spartacus delivered to work. Everyone were really impressed. People run over from different departments just to see the sexy beast. All the other myths that PC people had about the Mac were dispelled in seconds.With its fantastic design, beautiful sound, Spartacus speaks for itself... it makes market share and other issues seem so trivial. Selling Spartacus at this price just might be one of Apple's most brilliant publicity stunt. Eric
