Have to agree with Sean about the (non) expectation of support. I also think this is aimed squarely at the IBM/Clone/Windows market. Remember, they are lookin at these Macs to go with the ipod. ipod ipod ipod ipod ipod ipod ipod ipod ipod mania is sweeping the world. Now I need to try a Mac - if it's anything like this ipod ipod it will ROCK, but OH the money.... $500 BUCK - that's it - Gotta try THAT........ and I can keep my keyboard, mouse and screen - feels like a windows box type purchase.. you know.. bit by bit. Hey, it sure takes a swipe at those Cubes too - maybe ya'll'll buy a new one too. jj On 12-Jan-05, at 1:05 PM, cube-request at listserver.themacintoshguy.com wrote: > Quoth TonVanHest (a.vanhest at chello.nl) at 12/01/2005 10:08: > >> I can tell you one thing.
