Ian correct me if I'm wrong but if it's USB, any USB device will work including Intel USB devices. Microsoft is enabling full USB capability in Windows 98 in June and according to PC sources upon that release a host of printers, scanners, etc. will be released. Rich

One last post for the night. Jobs mentioned he hoped to have some announcements about games for the machine in a month or so. That is also critical IMO. At this price level these machines are game and internet machines. Up till now games port to Mac for the most part well after Wintel. I wouldn't be surprised if we hear about major game makers committing to Mac in a public way over the next couple of months. Why, because they've had to limit their designs to the low or middle end of the market. It's in their interests to support Apple on this as it allows them to design at effectively the highest end of the market. I think we'll be surprised at their reaction and I think it will be surprising how much the game sector would mean to Apple. Rich
