Here in Brazil it's even worse. A Mac costs about twice as much
as the equivalent PC-cum-Windoze.
But that's a short sighted view. The Mac is much cheaper in the long
term. I recently retired an old Mac still in working order, that was
nearly ten years old. Ten years of useful life!
Reliable technical sources available on the internet confirm that a
Windows PC connected to the internet is filled with backdoors,
trojans, key-loggers and other malware in ten minutes. Ten minutes of
useful life!
Thus even if a Mac cost $100,000 and a PC only $1 over the course of
ten years the Mac would work out cheaper! Still only $100,000 whereas
you'd need over $500,000 worth of PCs!
