Apple changes the product line organization

[chevy]

Previously, iBook were separated from PowerBook and even earlier eMac were separated from iMac. This was a School - Home - Business separation.

This is not the case anymore as can be seen below:
There are only 3 categories left: Portable, Desktop and PowerMac G5.

Well, if you wanna look at it in terms of categories, then there are two: Home and Pro, each divided into two sub-categories: desktop and mobile.

The home, or non-pro category would include the iMac, eMac and iBook. The eMac, of course, was aimed and sold only to educational markets, but due to demand, was released to the non-pro market as well.

The pro category would include the PowerMacintosh G5 and the PowerBook.

Then there are accessories: the iPod, iSight, cordless keyboard/mice, etc...

You could also divide them by their TASTE. Give each one a lick, and put it in salty, sweet, or sour.

Or, divide them in terms of materials.... consumer is polycarbonate, pro is Aluminium.

 

[Arden]

Classify each by mineral content, or viscosity, or molality, or water displacement. All you'll have is a bunch of useless statistics.

I'm not sure why they're differentiating the G5 from the "Desktop" line, seeing as the G5 is the definition of desktop.

...or water displacement. All you'll have is a bunch of useless statistics...

And useless computers after that test
