the new Apple iMac

Yep...a VERY souped up Mac 128...infact this one expands up to 128 Meg Ram..coincidence (or hey a really neat conspiracy theory). Looks like Steve has got back to his roots...the computer as a home appliance. Wonder if I can run Dark Castle on it :-) However it looks as though like the 128 it is a closed box, note: NO mention of SCSI NO mention of a floppy drive NO mention of a ZIP drive NO mention of an expansion bus NO mention of firewire NO mention if the internal modem is upgradeable to 56K NO mention of video in/out However ALL existing peripherals will be redundant NO ADB, therefore all input devices will need to be redisgned ie trackballs,graphics tablets, joysticks, etc How can you share data with a PC owner with no magnetic media for transport Will the IR port be compatible with existing printers with IR ports With all of the missing bits, and obviously a home machine, have 10/100 ethernet rather than firewire seems...well....stupid! But on the plus side the blue tanslucent top is so weird that it is cool. Personally I will wait for generation 2 when they have finally figured out the world has moved on since the original Mac and they now expect some level of expandability. I will almost put money the Gen2 with have dumped the e/net in favour of firewire, just as ADB has been replced with USB. Cheers
