I work as a computer sales employee at a college bookstore, and now we've got ten IMacs in stock that people are probably not going to want anymore, thanks to the Intel-based ones that just came out.

    It shows maturity.

    I suppose that's a fair point, Stuart. But why didn't they have any big news :-)
