 Apple Computer recently cut the prices by up to $1,000 on several of its high end computers, sold through its web site.

The largest price reduction was $1,100 off a 500 MHz G4 server, the price of which was cut from $4,199 to $3,099. The 450 MHz version of the G4 Cube, which has failed to meet demand hopes, was also cut to $1,499 from $1,799. The top-of-the-range Powerbook notebook computer was cut by $800 to $2,199.
