Dial-up starting to disappear

Apple new iMac is released today the main 2 new features are Front Row that doesn't impress me much and the built in iSight that I think is a cool feature.

That is off topic ok what I want to say is have you noticed that this new iMac doesn't have a built in modem, Apple has created a USB modem for 49$ instead, I see this is the beginning of the end for dial-up, more manufacturers will start dropping the Dial-up support from there products in the near future.

Ofcourse that is not the end of it, dial-up will remain supported for a while but for a company like Apple to drop its support, it's a serious sign of how small the percentage of users who still use Dial-up connections.
