Your comments about Macs are just further evidence of your ignorance. I
simply prefer the Macs these days. Your concept of "overpriced" is just
a reflection of your limited capabilities. The hardware and OS in my
Macs are more than capable of handling my business and personal
computing needs.

Hey, money no object and excluding value for the money, Apple is a good
machine.

But price up a quad-processor laptop with 17" display and 8gb of RAM and
1TB HD, Apple pricing sucks the big one for value and are no better or
different in the end.

My neighbor, a snowbird from Germany and I have had this Apple/PC
argument a few times and the bottom line is, he doesn't want to know
he has a computer, it is just an appliance to him.
I like computers and I like working with them so it doesn't bother me
knowing I have a computer..

My iMac has a 27" screen, an intel i7 processor, 16 gigabytes of RAM, a
one terabyte hard drive and is "served" by an 8 terabyte Synology
server. Gee, I wonder what apps significant to me I can't run on this
mac and if it is only available under a MS OS, under Windows 7 under
VMware?

For most users, the hardware platform no longer is relevant.
