Russ, The iMac looks way cool, and I think they'll sell a ton of them (but I hope they ditch the 33.6k and go with 56k by August), but whatever happened to Jobs not announcing things until they're ready to ship? Jobs is obviously breaking policy here, so it is clearly a strategic move. I don't think anyone is complaining. By giving everyone a taste now, he can redirect back to school buying decisions in late summer. Remember he said, "by August, somewhere in the next 90 days", so we may see it sooner. I think this machine would be great for college students. I'd like to hear from any college folks on this thread regarding their view of iMac. And consider the following possibility. The last product to be released will be the "mobile consumer product". Imagine a color, emate/Newton device, with handwriting recognition, that's running a lite version of the MacOS. And this thing talks to the iMac through the irda port. The whole package, with a fine printer, under $2000. Regards, Scott
