Sorry to throw this into your note, marc, but I had to comment on the iMac popularity. (repentent) My extended family is a Wimptel family. But every one of the kids (nephews and nieces) keeps looking at iMac pictures and immediately starting a Christmas list. This is the coolest computer they have ever seen! That have to have one! My wife saw a picture and finally agreed to put a computer in the kitchen to keep recipes on and to use as a family surf machine. My secretary wants to redesign the office around the damn thing! She still doesn't get it that we use Gateways on a network! All these people know is that they use a computer to work and play, need computers to increase both, and that the iMac is really sexy and fashionable. They couldn't care less about a CDRom writer. They just want to surf and........watch DVD movies. The iMac could replace 20% of the tv sets in Teenager's rooms across the States if they can: 1)Surf the WWW 2)Show DVD movies Good Luck on trades
