Well they've finally done it - made a computer I can afford to buy my parents, who need one even if they don't know it!

One weird thing - I could have sworn that on Tuesday, the $599 version included 512MB of RAM, but today (Wednesday) it is 256MB. I guess the price of RAM just went up. Memory is one place they need to cut the price. Usually ClubMac doubles it when you buy a CPU, but they're doing that on this product so far.

256MB of RAM is just not enough. I would like to know how well it runs "parent-type" apps: email and a web browser, and maybe iphoto, with that.
