>Whatever happened to the dream of the computer for the rest of us? To the >vision of Mac decendants as common in households as a toaster? I think you answer your own question (see below) >When was the last time you saw a Mac being advertized as the computer >for the rest of us? Apple hasn't advertised this way in a long time because THEY NO LONGER THINK THAT WAY. They are into making bucks, and are doing a very good job of it. Macs were never cheap, and I doubt there ever will be. So people may as well stop belaboring the point. I DO agree with TeriAnn that it would be great if everyone could be able to afford a Mac, but I don't think that Apple will ever make it possible. I think that this will only come about if Mac clones start appearing.... BTW, does anyone have any recent information about the progress of THE lawsuit? ;-) -Ted #include <std.disclaimer>
