Apple Introduces $499 Mac, $99 iPod

My point is if they are trying to attact a new segment for their market by offering a comptuer for $499 the segment (most likely PC users) will have to lay out the additional money for a moniter and keyboard which will increase the cost of the bare bones system.

As for mice and keyboards filling up landfills? Well I don't know about the rest of the computer using population but my mice and keyboards eventualy stop working. Until they do I don't see a need to buy a new one. And when I get a new system that comes with mouse and keyboard I will store them for when my old ones break (unless they are ikky).

Yes, they are trying to attract flash users with the flash drive iPod. However the flash drive users [that I know] have zero desire to have an iPod, and there are quite a few flash drive systems on the market for half the cost and a larger hard drive.
