Star Bringing the Apple to the Masses - Revisited
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Sun 12th Sep 2004 07:33 UTC
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.

This is not intended to be a joke.

If OSNews pays me us$10.- for each news that I read in its site, in about a week IŽll be able to buy my Double G5, 2.5 MHZ, dual 23" monitor dreammachine. Next day, IŽll buy my 40GB iPod and in the next morning Office (just to let BG be happy, IŽll keep it in the wrapped box.) So start paying now, please! Also, add us$ for each comment, please.

Why "everybody" is trying to "tell Apple" how to do business? Business (at least in capitalism) usually involve decisions and risks. And a vision.

Why donŽt you ask BMW to build a us$5.000.- M4? (As a mather of facts, they own the Mni Cooper if I not wrong.)

I live in an underdevelopment country, Argentina in particular (Do you hear about our debt default?) So Macs cost much more, in real bucks (transport, customs, etc. 60% up Apple store prices) than in US. So we have to make more thorougth decisions: Mac cost more (see Linux Insider review) but you produce a lor more value on them.

For me, the most important part is the "productivity" factor, so I have time to get new jobs (well, usually, I had to use this time to try to get paid, but my country is not your.)

So, the proposal is: Let Apple do its business as they like, and risk their jobs.

And pay us, readers, for reading your site! Or should I let you do your job at your own risc?

Bye

p.s.: You do a magnificent job, Eugenia. Thanks.
