Pay for a Yugo (Microsoft) - get a Yugo.

It’s the computer equivalent of voting for the Obamaloon.

I will never buy a pc or laptop with an OS and bloated software crap again. I’ll build it myself and use a Linux/Unix distro or do without.

Macs are horribly expensive. When I last looked to purchase, the cheapest Mac was about four times the price of the cheapest PC. Coupled with the fact that I didn’t want a new monitor, I quickly overcame my idea of getting a Mac, which I had finally considered doing.

I decided to check out the new low-priced Macs to compare them with the PCs. I went to bestbuy.com which sells both PCs and Macs. The Mac laptops on site ranged in price from $1199 to $2499. I then looked at the Dell laptops. Dell's most expensive machine on site was $1099.

In other words, the most expensive Dell was $100 less than the cheapest Mac!

But you Mackies can comfort yourselves knowing that you have a vastly superior system. Yeah, right.
