"I wonder why the rep didn't point that out? I saw only two headphone jacks on the front. Where is the other one." There is a panel (with a hole) on the right side of the machine where the keyboard cable goes in. When you flip open the panel, there are 2 USB ports, one 16-bit sound input, one sound output, and a connector for the built-in 100 Base-T ethernet, and a phone line connector for the built-in 56K modem. Most of the people at CompUSA and other stores demonstrating the iMac are volunteers and not Apple reps. There were 2000-3000 Mac users that volunteered their time to help out with the product intro. I was one of them. I think this kind of customer loyalty is unheard of in the PC industry.I spent about 9 hours helping people out at a local CompUSA. Customers (both PC and Mac users) were very excited about the iMac. All 40+ units of iMacs were sold out within 3 hours. Eric
