The two smaller models are just Bluetooth and Airport ready, that means you have to purchase the add-on cards for 50$ respectively 99$ (according to Apple Store).
Make sure you order your internal Bluetooth module with your iMac, it can't be added later on (you'll need to use an external Bluetooth-USB-Dongle...).

Actually you can use normal cat5 cable to connect any modern Mac and dont have to use a crossover cable. Works for example on my iBook 500 which doesnt have Gigabit Ethernet...
It even works when i connect my iBook to a PC! Thats one of the little nice details which make Macs attracting more on more of my computer science student fellows...
Well, with 12 years old i'd have way more time to spend on my hobbies...
I wonder how playing with Mindstorms would that have influenced my future? Would I still study CS like i'm doing now or would I be more into engineering?

Your girlfriends iBook is suddenly complaining about it playing the newest Justin Timberlake CD?

I didn't add Quicktime and iChat to my list because they're not compatible with their M$ counterparts Windows Media respectively MSN Messenger...

So, what are our alternatives?
Media Player: VLC, MPlayer for OS X
MSN Messenger: Proteus, Fire
Office: Apple Works, Keynote as Powerpoint Replacement, Open Office, AbiWord, Gnumeric
Outlook: Apple Mail.app, iCal, Evolution,
Virtual PC: Ya, well, maybe sometime RealPC will appear after they settle with Microsoft. But who uses that stuff anyway?
Last but not least, Internet Explorer: Safari, Camino, Mozilla and maybe soon again Omniweb, thanks to WebCore. (Yes, i left out Opera & iCab)
Okay, did i miss something?
Smalltalk, a good tool for kids to learn about computers.

I think the latter...
is Lego Mindstorms!

Also a useful tool to learn Java
