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.

Sure they do, according to the standard you set above. Since at least 4
times as many people have them, then they most work well for four times as
many normal people.

I never set any such standard.




So what's your point?

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

yawn

I've already shot that assertion down....so why do you keep repeating it?

Because it's true.


Do you think if you say it enough times, that the facts will suddenly
change?
