"I think it's too bad that they don't try harder to get the masses to purchase Apple."
Well, really they are trying very hard... and are succeeding. Apple's install base has continually grown year after year.
If you mean by trying harder... selling less feature packed machines at a lower price to sell more (and thus get the same profit as they are now selling machines that are more feature packed (thus justifying a higher price) i don't see why... All that would do is devalue their product line while causing them to see the same (maybe less) return on investment.
Apple is ALREADY right at the average price point for new home computer buyers who buy a complete system.... and they're selling computers so fast they can barely keep up with demand.
In a nutshell, Apple's doing pretty darn good with their current business model.
