Anyone see the new Apple iMac unveiled today? I like
it. Instant
classic.
Has me excited. Beautiful design, fast G3 processor, really cheap...But
does it have a SCSI port? A floppy drive? Those are two things I can't
make do without.

As I understand it, the only internal upgrade option will be RAM,

There will be no internal floppy option. It will have a USB port, so there
will probably be all kinds of third-party disk options for it--is/will
there be a USB Zip drive?

No floppy, eh? These guys never learn, do they? They're gonna use
the USB port for disk drives? <snort!> Geeze, I guess they're fixing
to go bankrupt for real this time! Instant classic my foot. More
like instant 'Edsel' or instant 'NextCube'.
