Has even gotten into the act and has been selling Mac Mini's core duo
for 497 and are advertising a Mac Ibook for 399.
With as large a user base as it has now, the refurb market is heating
up with them.

Tom makes a good point here. Are you amazed I'm actually agreeing with
you? :-)
Not to start an advertising debate, but there are a lot of junk PCs for
sale out there because with some buyers, price is the ultimate factor.
Apple's been able to avoid that by refusing to allow anyone to build
clone systems for them (although I vaguely remember some number of years
ago, didn't some company make a clone?). That's one reason why,
historically, Apple prices have been higher than PC prices. However,
when Apple introduced the Mac Mini, that was (I believe) the first
computer Apple sold for significantly less than $1,000.
I think one thing that's hurting Apple's sales (to some extent) is
people have gotten used to Apple's historically higher prices. But as
Tom's attempting to point out, the price points are getting remarkably
close.
