My thinking is that 800Mhz G4s are old enough that dumping support for them will drive some to buy new systems.

Given that the value of an 800Mhz G4 is about $250 for a desktop and less than $350 for a laptop, anyone still running one is not a customer Jobs wants anyways.

Yes, we’re talking about some fairly old hardware. Unless I overlooked something in Mactracker 4.3.1, the last 800 MHz G4 rollout was an eMac (low man on the desktop totem pole) in May of ’03.

Like I said..... a combination of B and C.

The problem is that they’re not that old. My 800mhz G4 eMac was built in 2003.
