The Mac world practically exploded today over speculation that Apple will introduce a $500 headless Mac this coming January at MWSF. Allegedly, the machine will have the following (partial) specs:

• 1.25 GHz G4 processor
• 256 MB RAM
• 40 or 80 GB HD, uncertain
• Combo drive (CD-RW / DVD)
• Unspecified number of USB 2.0 ports
• Unspecified number of FireWire 400 ports
• 10/100 Ethernet
• 56k v.92 modem
• AirPort Extreme (802.11g) support

My question to Windows users is this: If a machine were manufactured by Apple and sold for $500 with these admittedly incomplete specs, would you purchase it?
