Ya gotta love it!!

But keep in mind, if you buy a Mac you have both a solid OSX
(unix) machine as well as a great Windows box too! A twofer!

Or you can buy a bare drive PC and load whatever version of
Linux you want and save a $1000 ...

Or, you can just grap the components, build your own for 400
bucks, or under ... building your own, shopping sales, ebay,
newegg, etc. you can
put together a decent gaming computer for a grand!

I realize that the zealot in you will prevent you from grasping
this, but...

...most people have no interest in building their own computers.


Oh, much worse than that, they don't even wish to own a decent
one, the ones buying macs are proof enough of that ...

No.

That they are buying Macs is proof they work well for normal
people.

Hmmm.... and component built systems work 4 times as well.

No. They do not.


So what's your point?

Most people have neither the interest nor the knowledge to build their
own systems.


Most people don't need either the interest or the knowledge. They go to
a local computer dealer, discuss their needs and the dealer will usually
build it for them. Now, if that dealer is a place like Best Buy or
Costco, yes, you will get a brand name product....if the dealer is an
independent, then the system will most likely be built by the dealer him
or herself.
