I worked on the PowerPC chip, and was made aware of how much Apple paid for it. Let's say that the price is ~20% of the Intel rival. The motherboard costs are similar, the drive costs are similar, the memory is similar, and packaging is similar. Why is the apple so expensive? PowerPC made products superior to what Apple was turning out, and as a reward was shut down. I LOVE the Mac, but it's way overpriced for what you get. The Mac is awesome, but the PC is 'good enough', and that's what wins the market.

I owned several, they worked well enough, but were beige boxes like
the rest, nothing appealing about the design. CD Drivers were a
problem on all systems after 7.6
