Worth Repeating: "Does Apple just want to attract computer illiterates right now? Yes. It's a HUGE market." Good Point. In fact, "computer illiterates" are the biggest share of the market, long term, and access to the internet is a giant attraction to them. Put the word "Web" into everything. Drive a wedge between business users and private users, Steve. Go for it! Hal PS: Here's a tongue-in-cheek product idea for Apple -just to make a point with the public: The heck with Palm Pilots. Buy up Ohio Art. They make the Etech-a-Sketch. Upgrade the Etch-a-Sketch with a laptop screen & circuit board to access the web. Sell it cheap. The public will get the point. You don't need to be computer wise to surf the net. HR
