Online sales by large system vendors, whether they be Apple, Dell, or Compaq, is going to put the power of the industry back in the hands of these guys, and take some of it out of Microsoft 's control, and certainly reduce the stifling influence of Intel on hardware. So, maybe the iMac doesn't boast technology that we haven't heard of before, but it's there with USB, it's there with a pretty fast CPU and a well developed GUI, it's there with everything you need to get going with whatever you want to do. And unlike the PC business, consumers aren't faced with a bewildering array of choice. Finally, I get to my point. I have to stretch out the word count to make myself sound more knowledgeable.
Less choice is the way to go people.
Before anyone spouts off on the merits of choice let me remind you of a few things. Choice is beginning to disappear because, it costs money to give end users too many choices. I am talking consumers here. If you want more consumers then make things easier for them. Apple does that.
