(( I bet there is no way or very limited ability to expand or modify the Imacs. I also find their lack of a floppy or SOME type of removable media a pain))

In a multi-computer household, it's nice to have one Mac. BUT...The business about the floppy is maddening!! It's not like a floppy drive is a big-ticket item. Also, the CD drive in my older iMac--on which I now type--won't take CDs made on other computers with digital images. It just goes "pooey...tastes bad...spit it out..." So I play musical zip drives...

It's hard for a thumb-sucking Mac lover in this world. It's the operating system we like...I just bought a hot new SONY laptop and still turn on the iMac every morning. The desktop, the program setup, all just feel so much more comfortable than the jazzy SONY.

You still use floppies? Thanks to some judicious use of networking, the internet, CD-RWs, and ZIP/JAZZ discs, the floppy is finally dead. Its far too slow, too power intensive, and too small (1.44 Meg?) to make it nowadays. I can say I haven't used a floppy in nearly 2 years now. Next you'll hear people complaining there's no ISA bus support or something...
