You mean they haven't already?

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but expandability really isn't Apple's...thing. The original Mac required a special screwdriver to open, and things haven't really improved since then. Apple makes the Mac Pro as a concession to the needs of their professional users, but other than that they're all consumer, and Apple doesn't think the average consumer wants to open up their computer. And they're right.

Besides, I really can't see Apple expanding their desktop line any further. Not in an increasingly notebook-focused world. Hell, they're probably dying to kill off the Mac mini. (If/when the MacBook hits $799...)

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong
