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.

    We don't buy computers based on resale value, either

    We buy them to meet our computing needs. And we've never resold them; we use them until they croak. We got 8 productive years out of our 1996-vintage PC and still would be running Linux on it except that the motherboard went south. The monitor from this PC lasted 11 years. Our 2000-vintage PC is still going strong with memory, DVD RW drive and hard disk upgrades. Same goes for our 2004-vintage PC; we recently put an additional 2 GIG of memory and a new hard drive in it and it runs just fine.
