Well, it is good for Apple that they can set high prices.  The profit
margins for OEM billy-boxes and laptops are razor thin.  Jeezzuzz, you can
get a passable laptop for under $300 these days, and it will have 4 Gb of
RAM and a 64-bit [1] OS, and the laptop will support two screens.

[1] Well, Windows is now a "64-bit" OS, but many of its apps, including,
    believe it or not, Visual Studio 2013, are only 32-bit apps!

"Ezekiel" likes him.

Speaking of "1337", check out the "card carrying Gnu contributor"
(*guffaw*) attacking the GPL as difficult to understand, and thus
insidious.

With "true Linux advocates" like "Hadron", we don't need true Linux
opponents!

You don't seem to be understanding what I wrote.  I count the value of 
the computer in the hardware I get for the price, and the software I can 
run on that hardware.  Not on a "perception" created by marketing hype.

It's not simply matter of a minimum price Apple must meet.  It's selling 
me hardware for the same price I can buy from other vendors, and it's 
being able to run software without "BootCamp" or any other kludge, and 
not being locked into Apple's "walled garden."

The fact I can only run OS X on Apple branded computers also loses me as 
a customer.  I'm not getting locked into that.  I've seen the way Apple 
axes hardware without warning.  Xserve anybody?

Good glad to see you're not an potential Apple customer.  So now take

I have the shill kill filed, so I didn't see his reply directly.   From 
what he wrote, you'd think I came into a Mac group and originated this 
thread, instead of answering one of Apple's shills in my own group.
