- Then explain the new 7200 models going for $1500. And the newer
- Performa models, stuffed to the gills with peripherals for $2700. And
- lower priced powerbooks. Apple will have to work hard to compete with
- their own liscensees like Power Computing for the home and home-office
- market, but I doubt they'll abandon that market soon. And even in the
- high-end market they're facing tough competition down the line from
- Power and other companies who will soon have multi-processor machines
- on the market.
