<< Who is to say that dropping the price a hundred bucks would have guaranteed them a number slot? That is an assumption and not a fact. They might have dropped the price and still only been number two.>> Mark, I agree . If I remember correctly there were some pretty attractive packages offered including memory, printers or scanners. All in all I think the IMacs looked like a pretty good value prior to Christmas.. Its amazing to me that they could get into the top 5 at all let alone maintain it. Apple's more focused approach was the real reason I think (vs. multiple offerings from other mfg.s) And I almost hate to say this, but current and potential Apple customers really are looking for something different! .....as opposed to lowball pricing. $999.00 Rev B looks pretty darn good. In one month I don't think that there will be one new Rev B iMac available on the face of the earth. They will be collectors items with their mezzanine slots. I was greedy and couldn't pull the trigger @ +46 and as a result ended up selling off 80% of my aapl on avg. around 41-1/2. Now ,naturally, I have the regrets. I will wait and see for trading opportunities. and nurse my 20% "investment" I did make a real investment in aapl last weekend though....bought a bto G3 from the Apple store. I will be interested to see how this works out. regards,pjkelly
