Linda, the speed comparisons in that news release are pure baloney, contrived to benefit the imac. In a real application, such as recalulating a large spreadsheet or sorting a database, the P2 400 is more than twice the speed of the imac. In fact a pentium mmx 233 or Cyrix is a bit faster. Apple is blowing smoke with this news release and will get hurt when the tech magazines publish contrary results. I wish that Apple would concentrate on the good features of the machine instead of hanging their hat on faulty performance comparisons.
