Gah - the "Macs are expensive" myth. Go and find a non-Mac lappy

compare it to a MacBook or MacBook Pro. Macs are not particularly
expensive, but they are damned cool and come with one of the most
useable and mature desktop operating systems in the world (OSX).

Gah, the myth that "Macs are the same price as an equivalently equipped
PC". I wish that were the case because I would have jumped on it a
flash. I just bought a Dell Inspiron...

Heheh - comparing a Dell with a Mac....that's the best laugh I've had in a
while :) Thanks!
