     Fine; except that the "toy" seems to be 'selling like hotcakes'.

     PC and all of the other Macs have one marketing feature in common: they
have no distictive marketing feature. They are incredibly _Boring_ computers.

     Whatever else one may say about iMac, its appearance is 'different',
'interesting'-- definitely _not_ boring. If Apple can sell truckloads of the
things to consumers who have had it with off-white no-personality clones, good
for Apple.

     Perhaps, too, good for us. A revived II series could be even more different
and more interesting than iMac. That Apple can shake off an obsession with
business machines and produce something that at least looks like a fun computer
for the home market is a very positive signal.

LOL! This is a blow Mr. Jobs will have to weather as best he can.

The above collection of fragments does not make sense.

It may take a while; but, yes, you will.
