Dear Apple Computer:

If you build this, I will purchase one. If you build me a much much nicer one for 800 bucks I'll buy that too.
I won't dump my linux and windows boxes for it but I will buy a Mac at this price.
GET SOME FREAKING GAMES FOR IT AND YOU GOT A DEAL.

no need to dump anything....you can run LINUX AND WINDOWS on your NEW MAC running OSX all at the SAME TIME:)

I have been running LINUX on old PowerMAC for years. Folks don't seem to realize that a 1.2GHZ RISC PowerPC chip compares favorably to any CISC chip running 3GHZ+. And, they don't need a JET ENGINE and oversize heatsink to cool.

No wonder the NAVY and Military have been buying up Apple XSERVE machines like candy.

Watch iBook and eMac prices when they release new models. Both can and do drop below $800 every now and then to clean out old stock. The iBook is highly recommended.
