Hello again,
OK, I guess you're right ... but alot of LINUX users boot with LILO from a
floppy! Just giving my 2 cents worth (if that's all it's worth). I've got
nothing against IMAC, it's just not meant for twiddling around like the PCs
which you can easily swap hardware on. IMAC seems to be esigned for one
purpose, home computing and web browsing, which alot of people buy computers
for.
And believe it or not, but I still transfer files on floppies for friends
where using a zip drive would be overkill.
Just face it there are a whole lot more PCs out there than MACs, hardware
and software upgrades are usually cheaper to buy than their MACs
counterparts. Or perhaps, I'm wrong and don't know better.

Pat
