I wouldn't worry. Nor about "deflation"- more attempts by the media to make us panic! Apparently people have forgotten how my fuel prices ROSE for a year and now that fuel prices are back under $2- yippee- where they should be- a lot of things traveling in trucks should be getting cheaper again! Sadly there are permanent scars to the past year's inflation- cereal boxes went from 14-15 ounces down to 11 ounces, soup and potato chip containers lost weight also- Thank God Apple didn't shrink the Mac down to- um- oh wait- that's the iPhone! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
