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

No, Wooly, you stated on this very thread on FreeRepublic that:

There is only one problem with Apple, they screw you on the price! If I were to duplicate the computer configuration that I am on to a Mac Pro the price would be $3449. The computer I am on cost me less than $1500 to build."

I am merely pointing out that for that $3449 price for your hypothetical Mac Pro, you would get DUAL Nehalem XEON processors, and ridiculed your assertion that YOUR machine was somehow a match spec wise to that Workstation grade Mac.

I however am quite happy with my Quad Core PC

So, your "less than $1500" PC really is NOT the equivalent to an eight core Mac Pro Workstation? Were you just exaggerating for effect? Or did you intend that your fellow freepers believe your hyperbole?

Besides the fact that nobody really cares that you chose Apple.

You apparently do... enough so that you insult all Mac users.

Owning a particular piece of hardware causes narcissism, etc? What a pantload.

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.

So, then, I guess owning PC hardware makes people sarcastic smarta$$es.

Besides the fact that nobody really cares that you chose Apple.

You do, or you wouldn't have bothered posting about it. Geez.
