WD, Went into BBy SE of Houston (Clear Lake area) yesterday and activity was similar to your experience. Lots of people everywhere and quite a few around the $1099 iMac. However - I also went into CompUSA and they were selling the iMacs for $999! - just for this weekend. Also had a new bunch of translucent blue USB Zips. I didn't know you could plug the Zip into the keyboard - cool! And no power brick! Jeff

Has anyone aside from myself noticed that the Bug's Life movie co-marketed game is for Windows only? Lessee... Steve Jobs heads Apple, the company that makes the Macintosh. Steve Jobs heads Pixar, the company that made A Bug's Life. Yet the ABL game only works on the other guy's PCs. No wonder the Wintellers keep citing "lack of software" as Apple's largest unresolved issue. HerbVic

PLEASE! If people are reading this thread with interest, go to your local Best Buy (or CompUSA, for that matter) for just 5 minutes. Find the iMac, and report back what you see. If you have time, talk to a salesman- and report back what you discover. Together, we can gather a lot of imperical holiday data. Good stuff! Web, Stopped by my local BB today. The iMac was up and running and had a crowd of three or four customers standing around it and standing directly behind them was a BB salesman . The salesman was staring blankly at the customers backs and didn't say a word during the short time I observed him. Also stopped by my local CUSA today. When I arrived I found a crashed iMac and no Mac salespeople. I hit the on/off button on the iMac and got it up and running again. Shortly after I walked away from the iMac several customers stopped by and checked it out. No sales, but interest in the iMac appears to remain high. Slugger
