For the speed and functionality and software and resale value, I don't 
think the base Macs and iMacs and Mac Minis are overpriced.  But they 
kill you on the upgrades.  And some (most?) of their hardware isn't even 
user-upgradeable, so you DO have to pay out the ass upfront to get 
decent  memory and storage.

It's not for the broke, drunk, drugged-up Linux dregs like yourself and 
D'Oliveiro and Feeb.

And at least 2 former cola Linux advocates - Tattoo Vampire and 
SMelzzzzz - have abandoned Linux and embraced Apple.  That tells you a 
lot about how good Apple stuff is.

I'm not averse to a mini system, but I prefer a med-big tower case I can 
swap parts in and out of, and the amt of great software available for 
Windows dwarfs that available for Mac and Linux.

Windows FTFW!
Then Mac
Then paper and pencil and rubber eraser
Then Linux
