Once and for all, proof that Macs are cheaper than PCs

Let's put to rest the myth that an Apple computer will set you back more than a Windows PC. In fact, it'll cost you less.

    From a mac book pro "owner"

    Owner as in my work bought it for me. I love it. Would I pay for it myself? Probably not. I build the systems I use at home, and I just can't stomach the investment.

    Your example is lame. Resale value. What was the % drop for both? The windows machine started out lower, ended up lower. What is the %, is it significant?

    If you don't have that kind of information, you're only Once and For All proving your headlines are misleading. Just like that damn pilot guy - headline about farting and when it comes time to talk about it he's too shy. I felt misled.

    To the guy with the Quadra in 1994, congrats on using telnet...LOL.
