Jeff , Larry Ellison THINKs $500 to $1,500 for a Mac "Appliance" Great info about AAPL - MSFT , the " I " word , and a $500 Mac: " PC WEEK: Are you pushing Jobs to take the full-time CEO slot? Ellison: No one pushes Steve. Steve's perhaps the only genius we have in our own industry. He's done an extraordinary job bringing Apple back from the brink. Shipments are going up, the company's profitable, morale is great, we have some great new products in the pipeline. You really haven't seen Steve's products yet. He picked the best of the [existing] products and made some decisions to simplify things. He really killed about 80 percent of the products. But you're going to see the products Steve originated come out very shortly, and Apple will be back to innovating. Apple's future is in creating digital appliances--low-cost, very easy-to-use computers in the range of $500 to $1,500. " LE suggests the MSFT "partnership" is limited to the Office product .

AltiVec- for a hot server <Soup, What kind of Mac will AltiVec Make?> If I may, I think these chips are optimized for networking tasks; hence- Think Rhapsody. <Will the Macs of the future have mind-boggling capability at $1000 or so?> If you wait long enough, casio will put one in a watch for $29.95. Moore's law is still in full effect! :) Richard
