Source: Clinton admits indecent relationship President Clinton admitted during grand jury testimony Monday that he had an "inappropriate" physical relationship with Monica Lewinsky, a source familiar with his testimony said. But Clinton insisted that he did not commit perjury in the case and did not try to get her or anybody else to lie about the relationship, the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The White House said Clinton ended his testimony to the grand jury at 6:25 p.m. EDT after answering questions for nearly five and a half hours. When is it indecent? When it's in long, when it's in hard, when it's in deep, then it's in decent. <ggg>

[OOPS] A bad Apple? "IMacs Suffer Net Connection Problems" While Apple Computer Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) runs with the success of its reentry into the consumer market, many new iMac owners around the country are having serious trouble getting their "Internet" MacIntoshes to reliably connect to the Net. The problems crop up when the new owners try to set up connections with an Internet service provider other than EarthLink Network Inc. (Nasdaq: ELNK), which has its access software pre loaded in the computers. "If you're not using EarthLink, they made it kind of tough on you," said Drew Linsalata, president of the all-Mac ISP MacConnect. Linsalata and other independent access providers said they are getting numerous calls from customers unable to connect or keep steady connections on Apple Computer's (Nasdaq: APPL) supposedly Internet-friendly iMacs. The iMac tech support Web site has numerous postings from frustrated new owners. Some surmise the problem is in the modem initialization code, but as of yet, no reliable answers exist. "We've spent hours messing with it but we don't really have a solution at this point," said Jamie Dolan, technical manager at PowerNet Online Services, an ISP in Menasha, Wis. Apple officials did not respond to several telephone calls. Apple shares were off 3/8 to 40 5/8 and Earthlink gained 1/8 to 43 1/4. zdii.com

Think different: Tests challenge Apple's iMac claims of superior speed By Charles Cooper, ZDNN August 28, 1998 12:31 PM PT Two days before the iMac went on sale, Apple interim CEO Steve Jobs said the new system "toasts the fastest PC money can buy at any price -- the Pentium II 400." Not so fast. Tests published Friday on PC Magazine's Web site contend that that the actual performance of the iMac "fell far short of that claim." PC Magazine found that Apple (Nasdaq:AAPL) based its claims on an older set of benchmark tests that centered on the central processor, without attaching due weight to disk and graphics performance. "Because of these and other limitations that we eventually discovered, we were surprised that the iMac's performance was promoted so fervently by Apple," PC Magazine reported. zdnet.com
