Apple 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.

I don't think these articles are stupid at all. If there is a market for this kind of machine, maybe the Reality Distortion Fields will cancel each other out. ;)

I would buy one of these machines in a heartbeat - actually I'd buy a lot of them and outfit my whole family!

I'll note that I'm writing this on my $299, 333Mhz iMac that I bought on ebay and I tried for months to get one this cheap. Most of them get as high as $500 - and there's always a ton of 'em on ebay. There would probably be thousands of instant converts if they make a modern box for this price - people are obviously willing to pay that for a lot less horsepower.
