I like his idea; if I got a Euro for every person who told me that they would like to have a Mac but couldn't afford it, I'd be able to buy a Apple branded G4.
There is also a huge crowd of very knowledgable Mac owners who have to satisfy themselves with older systems or iMacs because they can not afford to buy the luscious Apple Pro systems while they would love to tinker as much as their PC buddies can with their systems of 500-600 Euros. Some of those I know switched to PC hardware because they got fed up with Apple's stance of exploiting their customer's loyalty and keeping prices high.
There is a huge demand for low cost Apple-compatible hardware which can be expanded easily.
Apple could play this very smart by providing hardware to him and since it will be Apple hardware MacOS X will not have too many hiccups running on it.
Apple could even explicitly include a paragraph in their OS X EULA in which they state that they do not garantuee, support or claim OS X to be fit for any non-Apple branded hardware.
Their hardware sales would go up, their OS X sales would go up and -most importantly- the Apple Clones would help Apple to conquer market and credibility with MicroStuffed IT Managers.
While Apple makes good hardware in a superior design with unequated software integration, they have to dump their 'People will buy it if they see the intrinsic superiority of our systems'. People will drool, will moan and will google for an MacOS X theme for Windows.
I'd call it aBox though since the concept is lumping hardware PC style in a box. The 'a' could stand for alternative. Using the 'i'-nomenclature for hardware would be the same as wearing a 'iGotSuedbyApple' tag

Is this yet another example of American Imperialism?
In my country (somewhere in Europe, thanks to my forefathers) we have quite extensive privacy legislature; could I sue the US if they would gather data on me and if they refuse to remove it on my request?
Really, if you don't like it, there are more socialist countries such as Canada who have a living standard almost as high as USA's that you can move to
Can I paraphrase this into: "If you don't like our capitalism then bugger of to countries who 1 at least try to keep businesses' interests and politics apart and 2 have a respective superior social system"
We all could keep replying and whining about this subject to the extent that loading this page would crash every browser on any OS.
How about we organize a debate on a chat system amongst ourselves, know-it-betters, and actually apply rational thought to this one in stead of of wailing os-cratic panegyrics?

As for how I cope with life's milestones: pen, paper and a memory trained by Latin vocabulary.
If I forgot it, it wasn't important.
If it was important, then it is the couch.
If it is semi-important, I jot it down appropriately so it can forget itself
If I completely forgot it, I can blame it on the fact I don't have a PDA.
Neat. Under MacOS 9 you'll have to use a real WebDAV client (!= Network Browser) such as Goliath
In case someone is interested, I created a quick and dirty how-to here
