Just to throw some gas on the fire: Why doesn't Apple just have a fire sale on the low-end Macs? I mean really low, wipe out the inventory of Plus'es and Se's before the new low-end computers come out. Then the people who want a cheap Mac can get one and Apple can wipe out its inventory while gaining a few more customers. Colour is really nice, but how many people (in the "low-end" I use it to type papers etc. market) need it? How many people REALLY need the blazing fast speed of an SE/30? The main problem with this approach is that stock Se's and Plus'es don't have the memory to do anything with Multifinder and I doubt Apple would be that willing to trade customers for profits...:-) -ed costello -(lately of) the communicstions design center -c.m.u
