$750 to $800 with a legal Windows XP license? I mean, if you look at
existing Macs, and then build a Windows box, you aren't really saving
much at all, except the 3 hours or so to put it all together, and
install Windows.....

When it comes to upgradability first of all I understand the
Motherboard. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen Mac MoBos in
stores. If you have, I'll be ready to go to that store and look the MoBo
up. I am not the one who succumbs to partisan wars, but I always found
the Mac very expensive for what it does. What Apple is very good at is
design, that is aesthetics. To get a really powerful Mac one has to spend
lots upon lots of money. I can build a very powerful Wintel for around
$750-800. Try do it with the Mac. No doubt, the expensive Macs are very
good and I'd like to have one. But for that money I can build two
Wintels. Surely, the design of the box will be very plain, no mushroom or
lady bug, but it'll be very powerful for half of the money. All I am
stating is why I cannot afford the Mac, not because I espouse the
religion of this or that platform. I like the Mac for its merits, Linux
for its merits and Windows for its merits. Would I opt for a platform
that met the qualities and specs of all three? Surely, if it existed.
John.
