WebDrone - I hear you.

However I DO know computer unsavvy people who have bought eMachines, and are very happy. They use it for word processing and the like. What they bought is a set piece; a closed box. It gets them onto the net. It has a floppy drive. Turn it on, and it works. No upgrades. No two monitors.

If you want to raise the ante, just wait a few weeks for similar kind of pricing on a Linux white box. Does everything you are talking about on a modern kernal, open architecture. Talk about expansion! performance wise it makes a Mac look like a YUGO.

But it isn't point and click. And I guess that's your point.

My concern about AAPL has been that they face a major software transition. Then a CPU transition. Meanwhile there are all these pricing pressures.
