Jordan,
≪But their [Mac's] exorbitant pricing continues to help keep their
market-share ceiling close overhead,≫
Mac's prices are not exorbitant if you calculate not only initial
provisioning costs, but total running costs over the lifetime of the
product. Things you don't need with a Mac: anti-virus software (yes, I
know there is freeware for pcs, but you don't need _that_ either with a
Mac), all those Norton (or other third party) tools for defragmentation
and file management and disaster recovery and registry clean-up, and so
on ad nauseum. Add in your time and frustration due to lost or corrupted
data on a Windows pc. Add in your time and frustration searching for
missing dlls on the www because some application won't run in Windows
out-of-the-box. You won't have to blank the hd every two years and
reinstall everything on a Mac. In a corporate environment, multiply all
these cumulative and hidden costs by the number of user profiles
(greater than the number of machines). The Mac's cheaper.
