Tip, You are in an area, what goes into various boxes, where I know little. However, over the years, Apple has felt that it could charge a premium price for a better box. This arrogant attitude was one of several things that knocked their sales for a loop. That and refusing to allow others, sincerely, to build Mac clones. Motorola and Power PC couldn't take the crapola any more, despite the fact that Power PC built what was the fastest pc box around. Apple simply did not support their efforts. Now, with everything written off at the co., it would be a good time to become price competitive, IMHO. So far, that is not their goal. MB
