If they want the //gs to replace all of the //e's in schools and homes, why don't they wise up? They all know Macs have found a home in buisnesses wher e the money can be spend. So if the average home wants a computer, why would th ey spend $2000+ on a system? I know that the gs provides superior sound and gra phics. But the consumer doesn't need so much. The //e was a perfect machine. On ly one bad series (the A version), but otherwise flawless in it's price, availa bility, and ability to expand.
