Like most things the cost of an item is dependant on many factors. I would like to own a Mac, if for no other reason because I like computers (I have 3 laptops and a desktop). I have toyed with buying one for years, but I write software for the PC. The real cost for me would be buying Mac software. Photoshop, Pro-tools and office alone would cost more than the computer. I have not looked into it recently, but there is also the problem of trying to manage SQL Server through a Mac (which I would guess is nearly impossible).
At the end of the day, I see the Mac as begin slightly better than the PC (a lot better in some areas like graphics, video and sound editing), but not worth the extra investment. However, if I was buying a computer for my retired parents to check their email and do fun stuff, I would buy them a Mac because I know it would just work, but stop trying to convince anyone it is cheaper.
He is also the "Morning In America" political consultant who helped guide Ronald Reagan to victory in 1984. This does not bode well for the other Republicans in the race. Remember there has only been one Republican landslide at the national level in recent memory and Rollins was at the helm.
He is a throw back to a different kind of consultant, pre-Rove and pre-Atwater. It leaves me wondering if he understands some of the changes that have occurred in recent years, but it also portends to a less divisive campaign. I think a change in tone is actually good for the Republican, more than the Democrats.
