I agree, Bill. That's a great idea.
But you'll notice that the post of mine to which you replied described a scenario in which a 233Mhz PowerMac G3 is blowing the doors off an Intel 300Mhz machine. I think that's fair, and according to early reports coming in from users of the G3 developer models, this is a reality. Chalk it up to Motorola and their chip, I suppose, but it has meaning to me that a 233Mhz machine can cost the same as a 300Mhz machine and perform better than its "faster" counterpart (and won't these Macs *still* have a slower internal bus speed than most 300Mhz PCs?). Whether this is due to a streamlined OS or a better implementation of backside cache doesn't really matter; price/performance ratio rules.
In any case, I'm eager to see what the next 'phase' of AAPL advertising looks like. I think it would be great if the ads kept of sense of Jobs' high ideals and grandiose plans, while at the same time laying out some hard-hitting, meaningful product information. Damn, I know I've seen ads like this out there, but I just can't remember them. Not a good sign, I suppose....
Good luck tomorrow, Bill.
