...powerhouse at such a low price, Apple had to make some sacrifices. The iMac lacks a built-in floppy disk drive. Without such a form of writeable media, installations can become difficult. However, in the college dormitory environment, where high-speed networks are more efficient than floppy disks, the latter is becoming obsolete. In creating a cheap computer, Apple decided to forgo the drive and to offer it as an external option--leaving the ultimate choice up to the consumer. Imation and Iomega both offer 100+ MB disk drives (the former also offering compatibility with current floppy disks) for less...
...race wound down, with Boston Globe and Boston Herald polls showing Capuano neck-and-neck with Flynn as of late August. In the latter of days of the campaign, Bachrach began to pull out all the stops...

Since his previous album came out in 1994, Seal has gone through two difficult breakups--one with supermodel Tyra Banks and another with a woman he won't name--and the experiences provided emotional fuel for his new CD. The latter relationship was a particularly tumultuous one. "My life and work were being destroyed by this one person," says Seal. "She was jealous beyond conception. I tried to meet that with love until I got to the point where I was up against the wall." Lovers' quarrels are the opposite of high school debates; it is only afterward that both...
