Apple Inc (AAPL)

lango - I dunno about that...

Apple has NEVER competed for the bottom third of the market. EVER.

Perhaps I'm wrong. I'll admit to being just in middle school or high school at the time, but I seem to remember a MacWorld issue that had the three new macs on the cover, the Si, the LC, and Classic, or something like that (maybe fx si and classic???). A big deal was made of the fact that the classic broke the $1000 barrier, and was retailing for $999.

Like I said, I'm young(ish) so I could be wrong, but wouldn't $999 10 years ago be in the bottom 1/3 of standard PC prices?

Also, what about the pizza box macs (LC 475 anyone?)? Again, I was just starting college when they were out, and don't have any idea what industry prices were like, but I'm assuming that they couldn't have been that pricey, given that the 6100/7100/8100 were being sold at the same time, I think.
