I want an eMac without the CRT...

...and I'm sure lots of others do too. Apple has to change their luxury PC strategy because their market share is slipping fast. A cheap, headless eMac priced between $499-$599 would be an excellent way to increase their userbase, and therefore increase OSX upgrade sales, iSight sales, .mac subscriptions, iPod sales, Pro Suite software sales, Apple monitor sales, etc. They have to start thinking about their hardware kind of like digital satellite providers and cell phone providers and game consoles and printer manufacturers do; razor-thin margins (sometimes even a loss) on the hardware in order to sell add-ons and services.

That's my armchair CEO advice for the day.
