Fourteen months ago I wrote an editorial, suggesting that Apple should create an ultra cheap machine to battle the PC world. On that article, I suggested some specs for the hypothetical "Strawberry" computer. As technology is moving on fast, I am now updating these specs. To get the idea though, please make sure you read last year's article before you read on this one.

> At $299 sales price, the margins would be too slim.
I would go as high as $349 for the Entry model and $499 for the Combo model. But more than that, it would miss the point of the whole operation.
> 2.5" hard disk. 20GB is good enough
No, smaller drives are more expensive. A normal IDE desktop disk is cheaper and with more GBs.
