One, with a ton of losses, we will get more of the "Apple is dying" talk," and two, jacking up prices does not make a friendly user base. I also don't see Apple as bind seen as a discount computer maker. The people going to the store with full page ads of $399 computers (even though they usually end up paying more) are not Apple's market. - Roger
