Henry Norr's special iMac report for Macintouch is excellent reading: macintouch.com And Reuters is calling the iMac "Jetson-like."

I was still bemoaning lack of two floppy drives. Is this the first Mac that has had none? What about the lack of SCSI? Is that a first, too? I guess all the exchange of data occurs via network and modem; not bad, but it makes me nervous personally not to have the other options. I also think the slow modem is a deterrent. I wonder what is wrong and why they can't get a faster modem? Seems like they're unloading someone's overstock of outmoded 33.6 baud modems, to me. I put the stuff back in my System folder that I'd removed for troubleshooting and heard Jobs' speech. Loved it, of course. There should be more accumulation of our stock here on in. I'm just a little sorry I sold my May options early but my leaps should be doing well, soon. Oddly the LAAAGs were the worst buy. They're only around what I paid for them! But the LAAADs are doing very well. I'm looking for a point to pick up additional short term and long term options. I wonder if I'll get the opportunity? Linda
