A PC like this already exists. I can't remember where I saw it, but I know I did see something like that a few months back.

"apple is happy with 5% market share"....What is the F**Kin point of running a business just to survive? If you yearn for state run factories, may I suggest emmigrating to say Cuba or North Korea or Vietnam

Play all the games or watch a dvd on your tv
Copy a tv program to watch later
do your video editing and listen to music at your desk.
$699
Yeah, my iBook or tower will do all of the sound editing I do right now, but the idea is to do it faster so that I can get more done and try new things. Does anyone like to sit and watch the computer work when they are already thinking of the next step? I know that it will be a while until the machines work as fast as I think, but the sooner that we can get closer to that the better. Right?

Why didn't I think of that? ...
That's like seriously a good idea. Just... a keyboard with a slot-loading CD-RW drive, make it 256 RAM (SDRAM is like 2 dollars nowadays, especially for Apple I'm sure), 1ghz G3, mobile radeon, hm.. with whatever connecters you need for apple's flatpanels. A keyboard computer + flatpanel would be the most attractive system in existance. 2 USB, 1 firewire, ethernet.
Hm.. I don't see why they couldn't do that for 699. Now if they could hit 599... it would be crazy popular. A very fast computer for the price, and with the most astounding form factor in the history of computers. At only 699, who cares if you cannot upgrade it. Throw it away in 3 years and get another one.
Let's face it... how cool would it be to run OS X and play Ghost Recon on your keyboard? haha

apple keeps a simple product line. it was supposed to be 4x4:
PowerMac - PowerBook
iMac - iBook
they added the eMac because alot of schools couldn't justify iMacs. Apple wins on simplicity; here is is, do you want power or consumer? do you want portable or desktop?
in two questions they have selected the line of machine they want
do you want to works, to basics or something in between?
in three questions they have selected the exact machine they want. They can all be customised to an extent, especially the pmacs. Try dell.
Do you want DDR-RAM or RDRAM?
Do you want a TFT or CRT?
Do you want to play games or do work mainly?
Do you want alot of storage or not?
Do you want a sound card or on-board sound?
Do you want a DVD?
Do you want a CD-Burner (no DVD-R option)?
Do you want Windows 2000 or XP Home or XP Pro?
8 questions and you may get there. lets use the KISS principle. i know which i chose.
