Oh, well, so much for "the rest of us". I've always felt that the real
potential of the Mac was in "bringing computing to the masses" (a strange
phrase). But if the masses can't afford it...

Any guesses on which machine (with enough power to be interesting -- this
eliminates the entire Apple II series) will be or is dominant in the
home market? Will Apple ever admit the death of the Apple II and release
a Mac priced for the home/education market?
