This is not to say that Apple's mini-resurgence will really have much of an effect on any one pc boxmaker. Just that it becomes another factor in troubled pc-land. Btw, Apple just did a little test. A young boy set up an iMac out of the box and get on the net in eight minutes. The Stanford MBA setting up a new PC took over thirty minutes. Just for fun, Marc
