A non-iMAC w/o floppy question: "will Perot use iMACs at Bk of Ireland " ? And will AAPL be clever enough to provide S Jobs' old friend , admirer and financial backer with advance copies of OS X and a few locally built iMACs attached to a new server or two ? >> " Former US presidential candidate Mr Ross Perot has underscored Ireland's growing role as a global centre for enhanced information technology (IT) services with the announcement of two new ventures in Ireland. Perot Systems says it will generate a total of 498 jobs here over the next five years. The firm is setting up a new company, PS Information Resource (Ireland), in a joint venture with Bank of Ireland, which plans to create 342 new jobs over five years in addition to 204 existing Bank of Ireland staff who will transfer automatically to the new venture. " << irish-times.com Any Mac lovin' Irish nationals have an update ? Jim K.

Bill, >>How about uploading the files directly to the school's public server? Or to the teacher's server volume or even directly to the private web/file server directly on the student's PC running 24 hours a day at school? This week I needed a floppy for transferring some files home and we could not find a blank one at work! We eventually just erased some old data and reused the floppy. Although there was no conscious effort to render the floppy obsolete, it has become so through normal use. Everyone is using Zip or similar drives since they are more practical for today's bloated files. I think Apple is doing the right thing for an "Internet-based" PC and if they add any drive it should be a 100MB+ of some sort. Cheers, Norm
