Onlooker = glass half full backtomac = glass half full rickag = glass half empty and slightly leaking backtomac, sounds logical, but well, this argument has been logical for some time in my mind.

The sequential growth from 634,000 to 817,000 in desktop sales guarrantees Apple will not consider an xMac. Any one hoping for a mid to upper end flexible desktop with any expansion ability is dreaming, it's dead.

The price comparisons stand. Your own attempt at gross margins at certain price points yielded $1600 * 2 = 3200 * 0.25 = $800. 25% margins you say, for $1600 computer, what again are the prices of Apple's 20" iMacs? So even after you massaged…
