I fully agree with the idea of a mid range tower, Myself I would prefer the bigger quad tower since I do Video/Audio work. And Apple should also expand the Video card line up for current and future Tower models

And Thanks for getting back to what we like most about Apple….. Computers.

Yeah I saw that article by Dan. I mentioned I'd love to see the "MMMM" though I think the name Mac Mid-Tower or Mac Mini-Tower (MMT) would sound better

People say the MMMM would not only take sales away from the Mac Pro.. but more so from the iMac line. As for the iMac line.. why have so many? I say just keep one offering for that. If it is an all in one, then it is geared for the lower budget consumer anyway.
Therefore just make one 17 OR 20 inch model with pretty decent specs alone.

So the new line up would be:

Mac Mini (provided they don’t discontinue this)

iMac (17 OR 20 inch) (just one version)

MMMM / MMT

Mac Pro

I see no problem in getting rid of the higher end iMacs especially the 24 inch version. Why pay so much money for a system you cannot upgrade? Honestly I don't get it.

Everyone from the nerd who is fed up of viruses to the amateur graphic artist will appreciate the MMMM. Not everyone needs the power (or size) of the Mac Pro.

I'd buy the MMMM tomorrow… man, I really need one. 

Sign me up for an MMMM. I'm still using the "archaic" combination of G5 and separate PC. My KVM switch started doing weird things so I'm back to separate keyboards and mice making it a real PITA when I need to run a Windows app (thankfully rarely).

I know what Apple fears, that those of us who have grown accustomed to buying used desktop/tower Macs will continue to do so even if they come out with an MMMM. I can only speak for myself, but I usually buy high end used Macs so I'm in the MMMM price range already. In order to get the ability to upgrade components I make do with a computer that's at least 2 years old. The MMMM would make that sacrifice unnecessary.

I don't think that the MMMM would need to be a tower, per se.  Given the desired upgradability, what is the smallest, most elegant box that could be designed?  It certainly needn't look like the typical Dell!

MMMM… Sounds good, but all I want is an updated Mac mini so I can have a TV/Web/basic apps computer in my living room that's also tiny and quiet as a mouse.
I've been using an aging PowerPC version for a year now and it works beautifully (much better than an AppleTV since we can also go online with it if we need to… or write a letter… or play a game…).
I so hope that the rumours of the Mac mini's demise aren't true… unless it's to make room for the Mac nano

There's another emerging story, too: "Steven P. Jobs, the co-founder and chief executive of Apple, is an emerging force in the mobile phone business, thanks to the snaking lines of gadget fans who queued up last week to buy the iPhone. But now he faces a headache in an industry Apple already dominates — digital music."Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't see a huge problem for Apple, or for users, here. If Universal picks up its ball and goes home, people will simply play with someone else's. Those people in the snaking lines the NYT itself points to aren't going to throw their new devices in the bin, because they can't get downloads licensed from Universal on them. Either that, or people will obtain Universal tracks in other (legal or illegal) ways and rip/import them into iTunes. What I don't envisage is many (any?) people stopping using iPods and syncing them via iTunes.

I say "mmmm, mmmm" to the MMMM!  I'd buy one right now!
