i'm not sure how much credence I'd give to these reports. First off, I've only seen it on C|Net. Everyone else is just quoting C|Net. Apple hasn't directly said anything (it seems). And of course, nothing is set in stone when it comes to Apple until the Fat Lady belts out a surprising falsetto. As for whether these configs would cost more.... I seriously doubt it. More likely, it'll probably be a config like Apple's current method of offering both the US English and Western Spanish keyboard for no price difference. If it costs more, then it'll probably have more RAM or bigger HD. Lastly.... it's called QuarkXPress. When I worked for an Ad Agency back in the day, this was our first sort of new resumes. Any resume that spelled it "Express", mis-capitalized, or just called it "Quark" would be discarded. We figured that Artists should at least know how to spell the name of the most important tool they used. We DID receive a resume from someone who was proficient with a product called "Adobe PhotoSlop" though. We figured anyone with a wry enough sense of humor to put that on his resume was worth hiring. ;D -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
