Hal, Re: Perceived Lack of Software Hurting iMAC Sales I don't know if the software issue would hurt iMAC sales but one thing I know is that it is much more expensive to equip a PowerMac(modem cable is more expensive, SCSI cable is more expensive, almost all peripherals are more expensive). In the case of iMAC, I don't know how they are going to solve this problem. Gary
