Many PC's can already do this as well, with the boot order choice set in
the BIOS. Every PPro (& up) IBM PC & server that has SurePath BIOS, as well
as every Intel M/B that has built-in ethernet has this feature.
I just wish Win2k Server had the ability to remote boot iMacs & ROMless
G3/G4 boxes. As I've always maintained, the iMac is a nice corporate
desktop **as long as it is backed up by a heavy-duty server & Internet
connection.**
Cheers!
