The computer I am on cost me less than $1500 to build.

Your current computer is running dual Intel Nehalem Xeon processors that retail for over $2000 each? How did you get two of them into your $1500 computer?

I simply stated that on the Apple website if I configured a computer that was near the same hardware performance of the one I built it would be over twice the cost.
I do believe that owning a Mac make a person very narcissistic and needing the adulation of others. This is why they always post articles from Mac magazines in which Apple users write about how great they our to other Apple users, or how Steve Jobs is the greatest human to have ever lived.
I do want you to know that I am very impressed that you have a dual Nehalem Xeon CPU running in your computer that costs over $2000.00/ sure that it goes well with your IPOD Touch and your IPhone.
I however am quite happy with my Quad Core PC, my HTC Fuze,Nextar media player, and the money I saved compared to buying Apple. Besides the fact that nobody really cares that you chose Apple.

Here explains it better than I can ever do it
