Here is how COOL Mac is.
I'm not cool but heard John Mayer on Conan the other night.
I liked what I heard and googled him and found this blog:

"Once again John is apart of this year's Macworld event, later today there should be a video here, they are also discussing it, and have photos over here. Adding pictures to the gallery as well so check that soon. Thanks Emily!"

I suggest that a check into prices of macs be in order compared to similarly equipped PC, and that may shed some light.

I think Reeboks have historically been cheaper than Nike.

That adds to the coolness of Nike. Makes Macs seem cool. Exclusive. Upper echelon.
Remember when Brooke Shields said: nothing comes between me and my Calvin Klein jeans.
Wrangler jeans were cheaper but not cooler.

Of course, I always buy Reeboks and Wrangler and E-machines.

And Brooke won't return my calls.

You always get what you pay for,-- just like price of trading -- put little into it -- you get little back.

I'm always a cheap sort and have run Windows no-name machines happily from day one. I used to be pretty darned competent as a geek, too, before too many upgrades corrupted my knowledge. Still, I can still fix hardware issues fairly easily. Bottom line is I'm always expedient with the understanding that I can often buy stuff cheaply and cheaply upgrade without suffering much but saving a lot.

Until recently. I went into the CompUSA (or whatever) stored and they had the IMacs out. http://www.apple.com/imac/ I WANTED one.

When it talked to the sales man, the nameless female person I was with ejaculated a "$#@% ME!!!" much to the delight of the geeks present and to her own embarassment.

For a couple hundred bucks more (plus whatever software I might have to buy), that's a lot of cool and speed etc.

BTW, the message board was originally a Mac based thing. Carl still runs Decision Point on a Mac, but AOL was made for the Mac user and FF was born on AOL's DP area.

Couple of hundred is what it takes to buy a PC

There have been recent security bulletins released concerning security holes w/ various Apple products. Do be sure the keep those MAC's patched as well.

Scroll down to the bottom of this link for a current listing of MAC security bulletins -
