Hmmm My mother is still on a 5 year old G3 running all the latest MacSoftware. The box has seen 7, 8, 9, 10, 10.3 where as the most I have ever gotten out of a wintel box is two windows versions. Just last summer she walked into an Apple Store and picked up memory a new HD, and an external CD for a four year old computer.

Perhaps you might want to say how the box has built in obsolescence? also I would like to know how the G5 is underpowered. Do you feel the G5 does not hold up to the latest Pentium offerings?

It is expensive hardware but for many people the fact they have a box with only *1* cord (the power) is worth it. It's footprint on a desk is smaller than ant CRT monitor, and many LCD monitors. If you want to move the computer from the bedroom to the living room its as easy as moving a laptop..

Yeah. The way I put it: PCs are built to impress users; Macs are built to impress...interior designers.
