First of all subtract the price of the additional ram from the
Applestore price. 512 is all you need for most things. That will bring
it down a bit.
Don't upgrade anything from the applestore online. get a reseller to do
it. Applestore prices are a rippoff on the extras.
Next sit them down at a mac and plug in a digital camera, DV camera and
take them through iPhoto and iMovie. Burn a DVD from iDVD. Explain
these are free apps that are included in the price and that these types
of apps will be (a) additional cost and (b) not as easy and just plain
cool on PC.
Show them Garage Band and explain this is also free and included.
Everyone wants to be a muso!
Plug an iPod in and show iTunes. RIP a CD.
Talk about virus's on PC and Spyware. Explain that there is NONE of
that in the Mac world. Get them to ask their PC friends about virus's
and spyware. Compare!
Put a Dell box next to an iMac. Which would you rather have in your
home?
Explain that Bill Gates is in league with Satan, no just kidding, you
get the idea.

Hi all
At the moment I'm trying to convert some of my friend into buying a
iMac G5
in a couple weeks.. Instead of a Windows PC....Dell model
The specs for the G5 iMac is
1gig of ram
160 HD
Super Drive.
And the Total price from the Apple Store came to $2,927 and I did do a
Dell
comparison and of course the Dell was cheaper by $800 or so.
Is there anyone on the List who works at a Apple reseller store do a
better
deal than Apple Store online.
My friends do like the iMac G5 but price may even turn them to the dark
side..
I pretty much explain why Mac's are better PC's..so I have got them on
that..
I would hate to keep going to there place to fix teeving problems with
a
Windows PC, and say I told you so.
Thanks
Bart
