Jeez, cut Apple some slack! If their new iMac isn't an alternative to
PC's I don't know what is! With a 233mhz G3 processor, 32MB ram, 4GB
harddrive, infrared port, 24x cdrom, 10/100base-T ethernet, and a built
in 15 inch monitor for $1300, I'd think this machine would be pretty
competitive. It appears to be Job's next "Big Thing". Now if only it had
a floppy drive ...
