Great, that should mean that the low-end (I could make a very stupid joke at
this point) Macs are cheaper as raw machines. Will we have to pay for Apple's
over priced peripherals and memory or will we be able to buy these machines raw?

BTW, does anyone know wether the "Classic" Mac will be the same shape as the 
Plus? I doesn't bother me to much though - I've got my Plus and I'm holding
on to it. It should be a collectors item soon :-).
