Apple can up with this idea many many many years ago, before desktop OS's had things like m u l t i t a s k i n g . It was a clever way to get around the limitations of not having a true multitasking environment. So they're actually re-implementing an old idea o f t h e i r o w n in response to the way people use their computers now (major specific apps supplemented by minor universal apps).

The only reasons you'll be modded down are for getting it wrong, and more importantly...being off-topic.

Now that Dell has embraced the idea of computers without floppy drives, I guess the iMac's work here is done.

As a computer tech, I'm rather annoyed at this as I still find that floppy disks are the most convinent storage medium for the diagnosis/repair software I use. Yeah, yeah, I know this is slightly off-topic (and agree that floppies need to be replaced) but please remember that if something is taken away there needs to be a suitable substitute for it. Much like if Apple stops selling one generation of computers, there needs to be another generation to put on the shelves.

Unless, of course, they want to loss sales to people like me... hold on a moment... forget what I just said, Apple can stop selling iMacs if they wish.

Even in these interesting times, I don't think Big Blue can have a patent on the colour of a portable computer. The white is pristine for a moment or two. Then you start to use the dratted machine and you get hopelessly dazelled by the white. A few months after that it gets a few inevitable scratches which get filled with dirt and it looks, frankly, scruffy, cheap, and nasty.
