[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1123688, member: 56379"] I agree...this would be my guess as well. A cable & port clutter-free front view appearance of the computer. @mhandelman1: Believe me I understand the convenience of the front USB port(s) on the Powermac G5 & Mac Pro's!:) Also...maybe Apple figured it's easier to pivot the iMac 90 degrees to insert USB cables on an iMac...than it is to crawl under your desk (in the dark under there) to get to the back of a Powermac G5 or Mac Pro to plug in a USB device. A solution for the memory stick on your iMac could be to purchase a small USB hub (with a very short cable)...or get a USB extension cable. - Nick [/QUOTE]
