Here we go again. More thoughtless drivel from Eric in reply to one of my messages. It boils down to: Apple can do no wrong. It fell from number one to number three during X-mas, but that was good. We all know that. Lowering the prices would have decreased sales of course, so that was no use. Users must be forced to upgrade, for their own good. Colours cannot be trademarked in Eric's domain of the universe. And in the end, even if (perish the thought) Apple did something wrong, who am I to point it out, since I'll never buy a machine... I'm amazed by Eric's bipolar personality. How can he produce both quality analysis such as macevolution, and the garbage such as his reply that got him the MVP title for this forum?

SKU's again I've asked this before to no response, but because it has potentially important mindshare implications I'll ask it again: will PC Data and other research organizations treat the new 5-flavored iMac as 5 separate models, especially since they each have their own SKU? If that's the case, the iMac position as a top-five model is likely to disintegrate. That would not only make it harder to track iMac popularity from month to month, it would also take away some of the aura of popularity that surrounds the iMac. Andrew
