    PPC boxes are overpriced. Mandrake is underdeveloped and undertested (try using any version of Mandrake with multiple monitors). Its even worse on the PPC architecture. Has anybody here ever tried linux on PPC? Its a veritable hell I tell you.

    "Of course the higher prices you pay for a Mac can be justified by a stable PC, good support, compatability, etc.... "

    Well, I guess this was just someone trolling, but oh well:

    I'm sorry, but a mac is no more stable than a PC. in fact, much less so. There are a few models on the Apple product line that are stable as hell, and then you have a few that are just plain shit.

    Then there is dell and gateway's managed platforms. which pretty much blow apple out of the water in stability, performance, and price.

    And now that you mention support, you can pretty much mark Apple off your top 3 when it comes to that. If you consider support to be > 1week turnaround times on repairs, $50 CC charges to schedule a WARRANTY repair with their tech support, etc, then i guess you can say Apple has it all. But they cant even touch the repair speed of dell and gateway. Not only that, but they break less often (its called testing, something apple doesnt do much of. want proof? Just take a look at apple's TiBook, which only goes up to 50 ft with airport card, and the origional iMac's lifespan, and the PB G3 wallstreet's lifespan)

    Now you go on to compatibility. welp, we all know you are an idiot now, so you might just want to stay quiet on this point.
