I saw Steve Jobs introduce the new iMac today.  It's one powerful piece of
electronics.  " The most original Mac since the original Mac."

It includes: a 233 Mhz PowerPC G3 processor, 512K of backside level 2
cache, 32MB of SDRAM, 4GB IDE hard disk drive, Mac OS 8.1, two 12Mbps
Universal Serial Bus(USB) ports, a 4Mbps infrared(IrDA) port, newly
designed keyboard and mouse (wait'll you see that mouse).  Plus built-in
24x speed CD-ROM drive, build-in 15 inch monitor, built-in 10/100BASE-T
Ethernet support, built-in 33Kbps modem, and built-in stereo speakers with
SRS sound.

All that for an estimated retail price of $1,299.

Regards and best wishes,
