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 would buy the Strawberry Mac at that price, no doubt.
Add $40 and make the base RAM 512mb
I think we should leave 256, but obviously everybody would upgrade the same day to at least 512. I run 1GB RAM on my computer which has powerfull graphic design software and several programs running at the same time.
Of course Apple has a niche of power users, but hey, they could just keep these professional customers + open to domestic market, they wouldn't loose their professional market, but still sell more and create more brand recognition among the masses.
With this product of "attention", people would be more eager to buy later on a PowerPC. New customers would start buying the entry product at 300 bucks, and a year later they would buy an iMac. Why not?
More and more people could afford a Mac, and more and more wealthy people or professionals would know about tha Mac, and would buy a PowerPC later on.
Makes sense to me.
