Couldn't agree with you more. I'm looking at
buying both a Macpro and an iMac. I'm not going
with the off-the-shelf spec in either case I'm
upping the RAM and disk. Well, I was until I
saw the prices Apple want to charge me. I'l have
to go with them for the disk in the iMac as it's
not a user serviceable part any more but memory? No thanks.
