A similar question was asked of Paul Kliptsch who made only high end
speakers. (Came out with a bookshelf model named heresy)
Because that is where the market is.
If Apple wants to show us it is all about good stuff. Make and
market a netbook that is better than all the rest.
Apple is about Computers. The computer market is shifting away from
desktops (I think the past few years laptops have outsold desktops)
At this point people are about small portable appliances that are
easy to transport and use. (Iphone, Itouch ec.)
Instead of looking down your nose at a segment of the market. Make
it better and show others how it is supposed to be done.
That is the difference between an elitist snob and a
entrepreneur. One talks down to it, the other shows them how it is to be done!
And by the way I would not put Apple up with McIntosh or Denon or
Onkyo or Bang-Olufsen.
It is more like Technics against Pioneer or Sony. They are after
similar clientele. (the computer enthusiast)
The other guys do not want the riff-raff, only the connoisseur
Now all of the above is true unless you folks are really elitist snobs. :-)

I agree completely. Why would McIntosh, that's the high-end audio
amplifier maker, not the computer maker, want to put a low-end and
cheap amp on the market when their entire market niche has been
forever predicated upon devices of the highest caliber?
