I read the PC Week article about JLG leaving Apple.  Is this true?
If this is true, can we expect Apple to redirect its marketing efforts somewhat?
Can we expect this new direction to be in pricing? Dare we think, could there
be, reasonable, (translated, much lower) prices?  Would Apple actually stoop
to selling machines that have the hardware firepower (which is often the only
thing people compare) similar to 286/386/486 clones at competive prices?
Would they finally realize that an easy to use machine is worth 20%
more, not 60% more than a clone?

...or does this portend nothing at all?
