Did I miss something here?  As far as I remember, "The computer for
the rest of us" had nothing to do with price.  This ad strategy
refered to the idea that finally here was a computer that didn't
require a 4-year degree just to turn on.  Apple was selling the
friendly, mouse driven user interface as a means to make computers
accessable to "the rest of us."  All this Apple bashing about prices
and dreams is just noise.  If it's not worth what Apple is charging,
buy something else.
