Yes, they keep denying that they would consider marketing a netbook. I  
suppose they want people to buy the Macbook Air. But I also suspect  
that if they take a look at the sales figures of netbooks, they may  
well decide that they want a piece of that action--at least I hope so.

Cheers,
Nathan
