It has nothing to do with that at all. It has to do with the processor, the memory, the motherboard, the bus speed, etc. It's overall system performance that matters to them.

My point is, is that that is NOT the way PC users think. The way I stated above is the way PC users think when it comes to Macs. ::evil::

Every person that gives their opinion on a specific topic speaks for 1,000 others that don't. :p

Of course I never said that I expect iMacs and eMacs to drop $1800 in price, but I do believe that they will drop to more reasonable prices and will be more closely comparable in specs/prices with their PC counterparts. :)

I beg to differ. Go to any Non-Mac message board and ask people what they think. Most will tell you that Macs suck and that they will never buy one. :(

Well, PC users are smarter than that and when they shop for computers they look at the technology. And if the technology is outdated or they don't feel it's worth the pricetag that's on it, then they most likely won't buy it. I hate to be so blunt, but that's the truth. ::ha::

NO!

And there are many people that don't know or understand the good things about Macs. Heck, there are so many people that know nothing about them, but if they were able to purchase a cheaper Mac to just try out this platform, they would realize how good of a platform it really is. Then later...

That's exactly why Apple needs to more aggressively cover the low-end of the business their in. ::angel::

Well, I haven't said anything about the 30". The 30" is cooler than heck and priced just right. Even the 20" and 23" screens are priced right. But Apple still needs to cover the low-end side of things if it really wants to make some money and increase it's market share. Don't you want to...

You really think a G5 would cost more to put in an eMac or an iMac (or even a PowerBook or iBook)? I beg to differ. Know why? Did you notice that when Apple upgraded it's G4 PowerMac lineup to G5s the price of a high-end PowerMac went from $3,799 to $2,999--A $1,800 PRICE DROP!!! Knowing...

That's what I figured. :) You know the BIGGEST reason why I think so many potential switchers don't buy Macs these days? Because they can't afford a PowerMac and there is no other cheaper alternative that's even worth the price tag that's on it. This is why I feel Apple should...

Well, I still think that Mac users need a cheaper option anyway. ::angel::

Can you even confirm that there is any accuracy in that statement?

Yeah, I know, but it just gets really annoying when Apple makes us wait way too long for upgraded products. ::sleepy::

I can't afford a PowerMac G5. :( I'm only going to be developing simple games anyway. ;)

It's not that I actually want one; it's that Apple needs to do this so the Macintosh platform will actually become more competitive against the PC world. ::ha:: You see, Apple has this strategy that by bringing more support for Apple products on the PC platform they can show PC users just...

Since I'm going to be using it to develop multimedia for video games, ABSOLUTELY!!! :D

If case you haven't noticed, the new 20 and 23-inch displays already support PCs. :p

APPLE!!!, It's been rumored for 6 going on 7 months now and it still isn't out! Grrrrr! :mad: Don't you realize I've been waiting on this system for 2 years! I WANT ONE VERY VERY BADLY!!! Release it very soon! DON'T WAIT 'TILL CHRISTMAS!!! Get out in time to gain some momentum before...
