Nice opinions.  You may wish to check this week's MacWEEK (I got on CI$ and
read the stories early on ZMAC).  They speak of how Apple Marketing is
concerned about the exact same thing, and that many people think that the new
notebooks will steal thunder from the low-end Macs.

Heck, a "Classic Portable" weighing in at 5.4 lbs with a 8.5x11x1.5" form
factor for under $2000 retail just might do it, too...
