    Hear, hear!  That would be nothing short of a MIRACLE if you could pull
that off.  Not only would it be competitive price/performance-wise, but it
would cause all sales of Atari ST's, Amigas and most Macs to simply dry up...

> Do you think this is possible, or would Apple let me do it?

    I suppose it is possible in the near future (I don't know about the price
though, it seems too good to be true).  Knowing Apple, however, they will do
everything in their power to stop this monster.  ;)
