The reason people buy them, though, has more to do with the software. The software Apple develops using the profits from selling that hardware, and gives away to free to people that have bought that hardware. Really nice software. Keynote, safari, itunes, iphoto, imovie, OSX...
Since when is Apple giving away OSX for free? Seems there was a little release called Jaguar that all Mac owners had to pay for if they wanted an upgrade.
Want to use iDVD with your external DVD writer? Sorry, but if you didn't get a Mac with a superdrive then you're out of luck. It only works with the superdrive.

Of course not! We couldn't wait for the sequel "Three's a Crowd"!

You have "8 clueless admins and 6 semi-knowledgable ones" and can't assign this rather important task to one of them?
I didn't see any mention of USB ports. PCMCIA and serial, yes, but no USB.
Plus the PCMCIA slots only support 3.3v cards.
