Yeah but you don't make as much money in the long run on those who aren't
interested in upgrading machines. Providing some low-end machines is a good
marketing idea; however, letting the public get the impression that all your
machines are low-end doesn't work. Many of the machines Apple has sold at
regular stores have been compromized systems (I have a 6300 here next to our
iMac).
