hi John. I think that, since Apple writes their OS for specific
hardware, you'll likely get best results if you stick within those
boundries. And it seems to me that the best way to do that is to let
them do the builds, <smile>. The PC world is a very different
ballgame, as there is only a very loose hardware spec. In other
words, a very long-winded way of saying that we're in 100% agreement,
it would seem, <smile>.

Hi Gordon,
I think the more technically versed can answer the question about Apple
selling components for sure, but I don't believe they do. I think this sort
of thing would have to be done via a third party vendor. I would assume
that now that there are the Intel Macs, one will be able to piece together
Macs from scratch. I don't think Apple indorses such a method and, to me,
like you said and Dennis said, I'd rather just by the whole package from
Apple and be certain as to exactly what I'm getting. I think the ages old
notion that some Windows PC folks have that a system isn't good unless you
can constantly fiddle and "upgrade" specific components is, unfortunately,
carrying over to this "new Mac" world.
