Phil add Japan's Universities to iMAC's reasons , OS 8.5 , cash Supports your 2nd reason for iMAC's continuing demand , using "group" marketing (with financing) : " ...Apple Japan Inc. announced that it will market iMac personal computers through 216 member universities of Japan's Association of University Co-op. The iMac PC for university use is priced at 178,000 yen (US$1,345), or the same as that at computer shops. According to the Association of University Co-op, about 30 percent of teaching staff and students who own personal computers are Macintosh users. The association said that it decided to handle the iMac because of an onslaught of requests from professors and students to include the iMac in its product lines. " wysiwyg://44/http://www.nikkeibp.asiabiztech.com/articles/98092409.html AAPL's delaying its OS 8.5 launch to 10/17 may have MSFT/DOJ implications . Whether intended or not AAPL's large media blitz should provide MSFT with proof its not the only desktop OS . Still can't figure where AAPL's cash accumulation is coming from but it should help pay for the expanded OS 8.5 advertising :>) OS 8.5 in turn will drive replacement sales of old Macs . Jim K.
