I hope so Linda. Just went thru the news.com site and while it chock full of Apple articles, they range from mildly positive to mildly negative. I wish Apple would have come up with a P rating for the PPC like AMD and Cyrix. Way to many reports and people for that matter just look at Mhz, comparing iMac to low-end PCs without further comment. Hope Apple pounds the power advantage over the high end PCs. That's critical to gaining defecting PC folks. By the way as Hong Kong is up 4%, I'm guessing I lost my OEX put position. That's the way it goes. I'm also looking at switching to Mac. I've got 133 Pentium with SCSI flatbed scanner, CD Juke, Zip and Tape Backup, UPS, etc. At this point I'm lucky if I can print something. Win 95 locks up daily unless I keep my news downloader running but even then it locks up whenever . . . I could probably fix it but I've been in this thing so many times I just can't bear to screw with it again. Looking forward to hearing about some hands on with the iMac and especially the hot swapable USB. Good night. Rich

Linda, The MacWarehouse catalog showed up in the mail and shows several USB peripherals including the Imation drive which has the same enclosure style as the iMac -- the two were obviously meant to go together. Overall it is nice to see a complete ad instead of the iMac standing alone; gives the iMac more viability to the average consumer. Still think they should eventually offer color variants once their production stabilizes! Cheers, Norm
