Apple Sticks with CRTs For Now

A reader writes, "eWEEK talked with Apple about the state of its hardware line at Macworld Expo/New York, six months after Apple said it was going all-flat panel with future Macs. Greg Joswiak, senior director, hardware products, with Apple worldwide product marketing, says that while LCD Macs are still 'the future,' surprise boosts in flat-panel prices mean CRT systems like the eMac and old-school iMac will stick around a while longer."

CRTs now have a Yearly Fee attached.

Seeing a demand spike in old technology, and the increased cost of Flat screens has caused us to look at our decision a little closer. We are now going to sell the CRTs as a "Value Added" option to the Flat Panels. The price will be added via a yearly CRT subscription fee of $100 dollars.

To quote our leader "The Days of the Free Display are over."
