As of about 2 hours ago I just had a chance to see all of the above machines
and they certainly do fill out the bottom end of Apple's range just nicely :-)

The pick of the bunch as far as I can see is the LC. At long last an
affordable colour machine at a really good entry price (yes, even for Aussie
dollars !!) in a stylish (sexy ??) new box.
