Yes, but I did price a comparable PC when i bought this G4. W/ monitor,
tower & perifs. + software it was 2700.00 more for the PC. That's quite a
difference. Also I got a 21" w/the MAC & the The PC had only a 15".
I'm not saying that PCs can't do the same things. {?} You just need to price
comparably.
Nufs, Enuf. Now back to G talk.
