It all depends on how you read the statement. You can't have an *original Bondi" that is a Rev B, because an original Bondi would be a Rev A. So that is an oxymoron. Saying a Rev B Bondi 233 is redundant, Rev B has to be Bondi and 233 (assuming no alterations). BUT, if you read the statement placing "original" with "my", and assume typical computer users who modify their systems, then the whole thing makes sense and is neither an oxymoron or redundant. It translates as "The first iMac I owned was a Bondi, Rev B version, and is unmodified so remains at the 233 MHz speed". But I guess that is over analyzing what was likely a joke comment to begin with (pointing out that it was an oxymoron). :-) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
