    ...except there is none of that maple wood trim in an Apple.

    The Apple is quite literally all of the innards of a Ford put into a prettier body style...

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

    That is precisely why it's a good thing you don't have mod points.

    That's a fair point. Not even I know whether my post is ironic or deadly serious.

    Cause Apple's a cult and you have to swear your undying alliegance to them upon purchasing their machines? I don't know... but that's my guess. Kinda like scientology if you ask me.

    I specced a functionally equivalent machine, and even gave Apple a break by not including the cost of the external hard drive case, external powered USB hub, and power strip that made the total size of the Mac mini solution pretty much the same as the low profile desktop, but I *did* count the firewire card in the cost of the PC!

    I know just how you mean. The other day I was looking for a new bicycle. I wanted a bike that would not fold and looked at a Dahon folding bike, then gave Dahon a break by not including the cost of hiring some guy to weld the folding joints in place and it was still more expensive than regular bikes!
