Let's just hope that there are alot of UN-computer saavy users out there that feel they need an iMac and have a hankering to get on the internet! I'd stack the computer savvy of any one of Apple's 10 million installed users against your average Windows borg any day. As Macs get more and more powerful and easier and easier to use, it won't matter if you're a seasoned computer veteran or someone who's never seen a typewriter, the tech will be (and already is) too compelling. And if this Stevie Wonka rumor is even half true it's going to be one HELL of an advertising gimmick. How about Willy Wonka in a Think Different ad?!?! Screw the stock; I love this company. Distort me some more, Steve! AAPL 4 LIFE, Mark

Why did you convert?

but as a graphic artist...I've totally converted over to a PC system. Hunh? I've been an art director for nearly 20 years. In New York, I don't know of a single place that will take a PC Quark or PhotoShop file without opening it a Macintosh, and re-saving as a Mac file for output. You may find the occasional Borg Cube in pre-press, but I assure you things are mostly Mac here. We got a couple of VIAO's (from a client who shall remain nameless) as a reward for a highly successful new product launch. The mouse control was so squirley that PhotoShop felt like you were wearing mittens -- gathering for output was a nightmare -- ColorSync just didn't work period -- and trying to configure them as servers was such a disasterous waste of time and money we nearly lost an account. We basically use them for nightlights now -- and as props when our "benefactors" show up for meetings. Feh! Ian Bruce New York, NY
