iMac no longer has built-in modem

Apple USB Modem The first iMac signaled to the world that the floppy drive was no longer needed. Oh, the pundits wailed, 'People won't buy a computer without a built-in floppy drive!'

The iMac became the bestselling computer of all time.

Looks like Apple has decided that the average Joe and Jane no longer need a modem, and have jettisoned the built-in modem from the newly announced iMacs. Fear not, my Dial-up using brethren, Apple has you covered, for a mere $49 you can get a USB modem that 'goes perfectly with your iMac.'

I suggest you use that $49 and get yourself a DSL or cable modem, but that's just how I roll.
