With all due respect I keep hearing that remark about Apple. That initially
it is expensive but in the long run you save money. Frankly, a BMW and Volvo
are expensive at first but in the long with the quality and safety you save
money. Of course you have to be able to afford it. You either have the large
down payment and make those large monthly payment or you have the credit
line.
I do a lot of home video editing the total cost of my own built machine is
still 1/3 of what a high end Mac costs. Exclude the iMac which at their
cheapest, or affordable if you like, is still a $1000 without a rebate. I
don't use anything smaller than a 17" monitor since my eyes are going ka ka.
The iMacs is not an appealing or an option for me personally.
I like the PowerMacs but all of the ones I have seen even with rebates are
still out of my range and many many people. I guess like any luxury if you
willing to eat spam and bologne use the toothpaste until the tub is rolled
flatter than paper than great.
Just curios does anyone run Linux, without third party software, on a Mac? I
saw a package claiming to run Red Hat Linux on any Mac. Just curios to see
how that is done with or without a third party software.
