People seem to have varying experiences with the newer Macs.  I 
suspect some hardware variability between them.  In addition, what 
software you have installed matters, of course.  The latest version 
of Palm Desktop, which I have installed, has been an object of 
suspicion for many.

So, by way of apology, I did not mean to defame all iMacs, just to 
say my particular iMac with the software I happen to have on it at 
the moment is fairly flakey.
