A home computer is a major purchase many families. Just like a refridgerator or stove, most people prefer new (with warrantry) as opposed to used.
The key here is the pricepoint. People (especially PC people who haven't always thought about Mac) can now get a Mac for $499 and use the monitor and keyboard and mouse they got 16 months ago with the computer they're using now.
With the runaway success of the iPod, you can bet we'll be seeing and hearing a lot more about Apple in the next few years.
