They don't need THAT much margin on the prices of the machine itself. Witness
the current blow-out of Mac+'s for around $650. There is virtually no margin
there. The profit comes in the sale of all the neato software and periphereals
you need to make the beast happen. How many people just go out and buy a Mac?
