Swordmaker, you are soooo right!!

Every time I see that same lie perpetuated I wanna scream!!

Third, fat margins. A Mac normally costs twice as much as a PC with similar processing power.

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

Not true!

Countless PC articles, on line blogs (Tom Hardware et al) have totally dismissed this on a line by line case.

Macs and PCs for actual hardware comparison, MAC is LESS than PC costs.

And then you get the BONUS of adding in resale value, ease of use and total cost of ownership.

PCs are only the bargain deal when you compare the same idea to buying a cheap car and stretching the payments out beyond the life of the car. Not a real bargain, but because you do not layout the cash all at once, you can lie to yourself about how cheap the car cost.

GGGGGRRRRRRRRR !!

Not to be a jerk, but can you provide links to these articles? All I find are articles reaffirming the commonly-held viewpoints that Macs are pricier.

FWIW I’m a UNIX/Linux guy who grew up on the Apple IIE and early Mac, then switched to PCs for its abundance of software (i.e. games).
