Some good news: >>Wednesday August 19, 3:33 pm Eastern Time Apple new iMac sells out at most retailers CUPERTINO, Calif., Aug 19 (Reuters) - Apple Computer Inc. said Wednesday that retail channel reports indicate record consumer demand for iMac personal computers which went on sale Aug. 15, with many retailers sold out and taking orders for delivery from next weekend. ''iMacs sold out at most of our dealers this past weekend,'' said Steve Jobs, Apple's interim chief executive, in a statement. ''We are refueling them with tens of thousands more for this weekend.'' Apple is supporting iMac with the largest marketing campaign in its history, including more than $100 million in paid media advertising this calendar year. The company's stock jumped to a nearly three-year high after its launch of the new personal computer. It was last trading at 42-7/8, up 5/16 on the day. The sleek computer, which is priced at $1,299, marks the computer company's re-entry into the consumer market.<< source: biz.yahoo.com (sorry if this was posted before)..

I'm not completely out either, just enough to buy my iMac <g>. BTW, I clocked in at 27 minutes setup-to-posting. Factors which slowed me down: 1) 2 six-month old kittens as assistants as I worked on the living room floor 2) ethernet cable from office too short, had to work under desk on floor 3) custom TCP/IP setup to accommodate software router running on my IIci Oh, did I mention I tested the machine and then took everything apart to install a 64M RAM upgrade? lovin' it, Dirk
