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.

Just remembered the whole digital hub-thing doesn't work on G3 computers..
Sell a mac without iLife? You're crazy.. a Mac that doesn't ship with iTunes, for example? Pffft...
What happens when you plug in a DigiCam.. "Please go to Apple's site to download the free version of iPhoto"
Way to cut costs.. *shakes head..
Bottom line.. PC's aren't that cheap. They're really not. PC users want tons of software and they want to play games. Playing games means getting a 1400-2000 computer.
This is breakeven at best market...
PS. Does Panther run in G3? God that would be slow..
