Well said! Still, those some guys are still trying to claw most of theirs back by asking too much. Growl. These days, I try to choose carefully and spend bit more to assure long term and greater safisation. Ditto to desktops and portables. Active displays cost is getting less moot because getting better and increasing in numbers. BTW that iMac, That is indeed markings of a Steve Jobs's mistake that has no external SCSI port on it even no PCMCIA slots. Another instant classic. BTW, b/w or color display??? It did not say so in that apple's website and no detailed specs. Also iMac is supposed to give options for either TP or coax and PCMCIA modem. Look, there is a funny hole highlighted with electric blue ring is bass port. Wrong place. Supposed to throw back at wall or cast out into room. I have a 13" tv with that little speaker on left side, I taped a crude cardboard scoop to reflect sound towards viewers, what a difference even to deaf and hearing-impaired like me. One small item that is finally there in low-cost machine is cache. small kudos. Jason D. email: jpero(a)cgo.wave.ca Pero, Jason D.
