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.

Genesi published this picture of the new Pegasos a couple of weeks ago:

The only problem is the cost. I bought my G3 Pegasos for ~$350 when the G3 Pegasos II was still on sale. An inexpensive machine could be assembled with these components: Case w/PS $30.00, Cables $5.00, Memory $40.00, Graphics Card $50.00 (ATI 9200SE), Hard Drive $50.00, DVD/CD R/W $50.00, Keyboard and mouse $30.00. That is $605.00. Thanks to the SmartFirmware on the Pegasos you could just use a keyboard and mouse you have so say $575 (and an existing monitor too). The G3 runs like a champ. I have a second Pegasos I use as a webserver. Also G3 and works great ( Machine: Pegasos, OS: Debian GNU Linux, CPU: PowerPC, RAM: 512 MB, Database: MySQL Server, Web Server: Apache, Database Size: 1GB).
