Hi Lucinda,
As I understand it, the new iMAC's are going to be selling for $1,299 (the 400 Megahertz version) that has almost twice the speed of a 600 Megahertz Pentium III. Guess I always keep procrastinating otherwise I'd have gone to the Power MAC a long time ago. But with whats coming out now I'm glad I waited. Myself, I'm not too much worried about cost. I'm also one of those MAC diehards. :-)
