This is where you are wrong. A decent PC (1.7GHz i.e.) is gonna run you $2000
easy. A G4/733 is $1699. A PS2 is $299. That is exactly even. Not 2x what a
PC would cost. I have an IT friend at the North Face (he was a PC only guy) and
he just switched to Mac when he saw the TiBooks and compared them to the top end
Sony VAIO laptop. He switched because the Mac had interested him for a while,
and it was more economical! He would have spent $3700 on the VAIO that he
wanted. Apple has done a great job of getting the prices down, and I feel that
even Mac users are having a time actually realizing this. The new iBooks are
just over $1000. That is REALLY cheap for a laptop. What was true yesterday
isn't true today.

Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with
the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area and you
multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way
you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this
planet that follows the same pattern...do you know what it is? A virus.
