Job's answer about NC Q: There was a lot of speculation going into this announcement that you would be talking about network computers or an alliance. A: I've heard everything: I've heard NCs, I've heard Oracle, I've heard Lucent . . . Q: What was that about? A: I have no idea. I don't know why people make this stuff up. I've only met one guy from Lucent in my life for five minutes. I don't know where they get this stuff. Q: At least they're interested. A: Right, that's exactly what I say. At least they're interested. Q: What about the lower-priced end of the spectrum. The lowest-priced computer you announced today was about $2,000. A: You're exactly right. The interesting thing is that Apple has lost the focus on products at the low end of the consumer price points and I think that's a mistake. Q: So you're going to fix that? A: I hope we're going to fix that early next year. Q: Is that where NCs come into play? A: Who knows. I don't comment on that stuff. Q: Do you want to generally tell me what you think about the NC concept? A: No. We announced so much new stuff today, and that's enough.
