I am going to agree with you. The quality of the build and the ease of use are worth it. One of the main reasons that companies (at least the one I work for) doesn't buy macs is that the IT guys have no idea how to fix them. I use a mac all the time (I am not a fanboy I also use windows and linux) they are always calling me how to fix stuff. I am not an IT tech I teach grade 4! But I run a mac lab with it's own server so I guess I can read. Anyway I would take my mac lab over the other windows labs I have run. I really don't have to do that much.
On the other hand if you really don't need that good a machine then by all means go buy a piece of crap. You get what you pay for. My father just bought a new computer. He bought a windows machine, which is fine I don't care either way, but I made sure he got a machine that was high quality. Less problems in the long run.
I only trust companies to try to make money. The idea of a moral operating company is absurd. They are only accountable to shareholders. I live in Canada where we have been tightening the regulations on the banking industry. I trust my government (to an extent) because I have a vote. They just changed the mortgage regulations so they can't offer mortgages past 25 years. That makes sense to me. I am not surprised by drug companies providing false information. I hope the FDA can punish the crap out of them so that their shareholders get upset. That is the only way you will keep them honest. We have to stop thinking of business as heroes and crap. They are just out to make money and don't care about the average joe.

I wish apple would get on with innovating and stop all this nonsense.
Well I sure didn't like it. What the hell were they thinking with that interface?
