Hi Scott,
Since this is a future avenue I am considering heading, I appreciate the
observations. I will be making some kind of decision as to what I will end
up buying after the summer, so I'd be curious to hear what you find with
your experiences.
Take Care

Subject: my new Intel IMac
Folks, I just wanted to report a few things upon switching to my new IMac.
First if you all recall my problems with a 7-port Belcon hub where I
couldn't get the machine to sleep? Well amazingly enough even with the new
IMac, I am experiencing the same problem, but the difference is that at
least the machine does not go into a sleep and wake cycle; like a loop. It
just goes to sleep and wakes up immediately. I am now very certain its
Belcon's product that is the problem and I intend to let them know. Another
interesting thing is I used disk target to move all my stuff from my IMac G5
to the new Intel IMac and there was no backup directory or anything whic I
guess is what I should have expected, but what made that so interesting is
that I did not have to reinstall my scanner driver. It just worked right
off. Now I can't say this would be true with everything and I haven't tested
every app, but that was pretty cool.
I have noticed it is a bit faster and I ended up with more ram that I had
intended, but that's ok. I know some don't like Intel, but not quite sure
why, I got the box for a number of reasons and so far am very happy with it.
Just thought I'd offer some comments for whatever they're worth.
Scott
