Apple sometimes is completely and unexplainably "hopeless"

Apple is really hopeless sometimes - how can we tell them that they need to have a mid-range desktop as there are people out there who have a monitor, but would like a more expandable and more powerful machine than the mini? The iMac is not an option for me: I already have a monitor; the MacPro is not an option either, it is too expensive and offers way more than I need.

Another hopeless point - if you need a monitor and don't have a Mini Display port and don't have a MacPro or MacBook Pro, what is the offering of monitors from Apple today? Simply NONE. They used to have 20" and 24" Cinema Displays, now they only have the 24" LED backlit Cinema Display that works *only* with the new machines (no Mini Display Port to DVI adapter anyone?) or the older 30" Cinema Display that works *only* with MacPros or MacBook Pros or newer machines. Forget about wanting a 20", BTW. So if you have an "older" machine, you're out of luck and *need* to buy a non-Apple monitor.

Hello Apple?!?! am I supposed to go and buy a monitor from somebody else? do you really want me to do this?
It appears to be so.

Or maybe there are so few people who bought monitors from Apple in the past quarters that they have decided to drop the market altogether, offering very "niche" products like the 2 monitors mentioned above....

Hopeless.
