Talking about entry price points, back here in Germany Apple and Gravis (biggest mailorder house) in team launched a 'new/old' Powermac Model 7220. Based on the motherboard of a 4400 it features: PowerPC 603e, 200 MHz, 32MB, 256kb L2, 24xCD and VPC 2.0 at 1,999 DM. Don't know what the G3/233 street price in the U.S. is right now, but the above is about half of what you pay for the G3/233 here, so you could say it is around a $900 system (German Apple dollars :-( ). I guess they do not have enough motherboards/chips for this as inventory, as it is meant as a short term offer; also probably not offered in the US to avoid conflicting marketing signals around the AIO. - I loved the volume today, my take is that some analysts wait with more positive comments/upgrades until their MM friends have filled their portfolios at a price below 30. Hope we crash this barrier soon, so that my profit will buy me a G3:-) Goetz
