Cheap Pcs vs Apple lol

[Snow White]

No one out there wants to compete with a $400 piece of crap constructed 
in some dealers basement with dubious warrantees and no Ram whatsoever. 
Hell, even Gateway is advertising plasma tvs instead of computers now.

A Mac at $799 is about as low as it needs to be.  There is reason (no 
benefit) to compete for clients that will not spend anything more than 
the barest, lowest amount neccesary - they are not loyal to anything 
but their wallet.  It would be a shame to degrade a Mac to meet this 
cheap a demand and it would certainly harm the rest of the lines 
pricing.  Apple does not sell junk - and that is one of the reasons 
they are succesful and we continue to buy at a premium (but is it a 
premium or is the IBM clone market just overly underpriced?).

PS; A G5 cube would be kinda nice, but I sure do like the one I have 
now.
