Thanks for this great story! It is completely true, and I'll even compare you one more...
I have owned six or seven macs since I switched back in 2001, and here is the secret.
I am a student, I was in middle school when I switched, and I have NEVER lost much money on any mac. After my first iBook (Bondi- Blue) I paid $500 and sold it for $350. I then bought a G3 Snow iBook, for $500 used it for a year and sold it for $500. I bought a G4 Tower for $350. Used that for a year and sold it for $750, used the family iMac for a little while, but then I needed a notebook for school. Bought a macbook for $700, used that for 6 mos or so and sold it for $800. Went out and bought a Macbook Pro for $1100 that was easily worth $1500-1800, and I'll use this for 6 mos and break even, or sell it for more...
Macs are the ONLY computer you can MAKE money by owning, and I am at a current machine- not using a Pentium III like most of my friends...
Thank you Farhad!
