I deleted Chuq's article to save space, but I'd like to reply to his
contention that Apple has won the home and university markets as well
as they can.  This is just not true!  There are a very large number of
university students who are buying IBM clones because of the difference
in price--this is IMPORTANT to students.  But I can understand Apple's
approach to the U's, they are already giving them a pretty good price
break.  Much sadder, to my point of view, is the very large number of
homes (four families, to my own personal knowledge) who would like to
purchase Macs, but find the price to high.  To capture a larger share
of this market, Apple simply has to introduce a Mac with pricing approx.
equal to the current U. price for a Plus.  If they can make money
marketing Pluses to the universities, they can make money doing this
as well, and gain a large and loyal following in the process.
