Cheap shot

I'd be surprised if Apple launches a cheap Mac next week, at Macworld. They have been rumored to do so for years, but never have. And it seems to be a Steve Jobs decision, if not obsession. Maybe he fears to lower the prestige (and appeal) of Apple. It's always been a mystery to Mac fans who are desperate for a larger market share (less than 5% right now) and hope to gain some credibility out of the new adopters.

Come back in a week to see if I'm wrong.
