Congratulations, that is wonderful for all the mac users. Sharen

Outstanding! Thanks for keeping us updated, Lynn! :)

Cool! And I see you posted it in the Mac forum too. Now, finally, Vue can enjoy that other half of the market. They don't yet know it, but this is what they've been waiting for all this time. :) And ya know, I can hardly wait to start answering questions that might relate to the Mac OS.... So, would E-on be interested in buying me a Mac? It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just the latest. ;) Great news, Lynn!

Awesome. Too bad the web site isn't updated yet. I want this special pricing :) - n8

Greeeeaaaat!!! I've waited so long for this day! Will there be any special prices available through the web? Something like a mac introduction price ;o) Since I can't go to SF while working in good old Germany this would be really cool! How many days is the time of delivery? Best wishes, Phil

Sounded that way to me, but who knows. The press release Lynn posted isn't on e-on's website yet though - so I guess I'll wait until tomorrow and see what happens. - n8
