I totally agree with you on all counts. The iMac is my 7th Macintosh, though counting gifts, I have bought 10 Macintosh computers since 1984. The iMac is the lowest price and the most useful of them all. BB stores that I have used have never given Apple much respect, but not knowing how to reset a system crash is unforgivable. Actually, they don't give any computer brand much respect. The sales person who has any knowledge at all, only does so because of his personal interests, not because BB selected him based on his experience. It's a credit card and carry sales force where "May I help you?" means "Have you made your selection yet?" HerbVic
