I want to thank apple for sparing me the ignominy of buying a 599 Mac when I can pay twice as much for the same product and feel twice as self-righteous.

Let's say your neighbor Joe comes to you and offers to sell you all of the local Cable channels for half price... and he calls it Joe's Cable Company. The signal is exactly the same as what the local cable company offers. In fact, Joe is merely buying the signal for himself and then re-cabling it to his neighbors. Do you buy?

Another neighbor is offering John's Satellite TV services for half the price of DirecTV or DishNetwork. He will run a cable from his receiver to yours... after all he is just competing with Joe... and DirecTV and DishNetwork. That must be fair because they charge too much. Do you buy from him?

Another guy comes to your door and he is selling "The Dark Knight' on DVD... skinny case.. only $10! It isn't even out of the theaters yet. (I had this very thing offered to me today while I was eating lunch in a Mexican Restaurant!) Do you buy?

Strange. People state that they will not buy a stolen OS from people making crap computers and that make them self-righteous? I think that is just honest people making honest decisions.

You want to buy a $599 Mac, then Apple offers you one. It is quite powerful. It also comes fully supported and you can safely update it. You cannot with Psystar's product.
