<<Anyway. I suspect that the iMac will do well there. They just have top convinvce the French Telcos (the primary benifactors of MiniTel $$) that the internet and iMac will ultimately make them even more $$ by expanding international business. Apple could be the early pioneers of the French Internet industry!>> Well, France is a strong supporter to MAC platform judged from its historical MAC sales in that country. France used to be #1 in MAC sales in Europe. They seem to love MAC platform due to their position in Europe, independent from English-spoken powers. Apple's special characteristics is to be independent from WinTel's domination, that probably fits into their personality. Besides, Apple's localization has done better than WinTel's. I agree with your assessment on iMac role in French internet business. I personally believe French people will buy tons of iMac due to its similar situation and strong support. Phil
