Don Crabb managed to corner a Compaq exec and get some thoughts on the iMac ( maccentral.com ): This machine is going to scare the living hell out of the Wintel competition. And give home and school Mac customers a reason to smile and a reason to replace their aging Macs. If you doubt either assertion, consider that moments ago I spoke with a senior executive at Compaq about the iMac. "I don't see how they squeezed the price that low. And I bet their margins are still good. Am I worried? You're damn right I'm worried," he said, "Looks like Jobs is serious this time. We've got to play catch-up." Marcqk (who is obviously working his way through Macsurfer at the moment and is also seriously considering Linda's comment about it being time for pizza) PS--Apparently it is only the Apple Store UK that is ready for business, not a European Store.

Clips from the Jetson cartoon was found in the iMac introduction video Apple played during the seminar. BTW, I was told that the May 11th seminar will be much longer. The entire keynote and demo (presumably OS direction) will be about 3 1/2 hrs. Jobs mentioned that the new "Steam-roller" commercial (still work in progress) for Wall Street PB will should air in 2-3 weeks. Intro/announcement of consumer portables is slated for 1999. This will be the replacement of eMate. (Probably running variation of MacOS) Eric
