Ian, don't get me wrong, young fellow! I'm too an early adopter of new technologies. What I mean is: Even in the US, people still look at a Mac as a "different" [read not compatible ] computer. I get the hell of here to sell "the Mac against PC" case. I work in Advertising and it is an Mac World. It's easier to have people involved with Macs. But it is always a pain to explain our clients the difference, when they ask a file to be used on their systems. When do you think people here will start working in this brave new world? When do you think THE REVENUES [of the new iMacs ] will start coming from Apple subsidiaries over the world? It's not an American only question anymore. Ari

How long it will take for the whole world get along with this new way of computing How about August? This isn't "future" technology - it's just state-of-the-art. Apple's dragging us into the present. Us foreigners are just pointing out that the economics of computing/telecoms are quite different in different parts of the World compared to the US. Lack of a floppy will be perceived as a major drawback outside the US IMHO. David
