You may say Apple computers are overpriced, but I've been a PC user all of life until about a year ago, and can justifiably say that Apples are above and beyond PC's and well worth the extra cash. My Dell Inspiron 1100 running WinXP crashed about five or six times PER DAY. I've owned this iBook for about a year now and it's crashed a total of twice. My supposedly 2.0 GHz Pentium 4 Dell didn't have the power to run Counterstrike without seriously slow processing, but my G4 iBook runs World of Warcraft perfectly smoothly without any problems ever. I haven't owned a single PC that took less than 4 minutes to boot up, but my iBook boots up in 30 seconds.
Furthermore, as between Sony and Apple, iTunes is refusing Sony's demand to raise music download prices above $0.99. I'd rather go with the company that cares enough to defend consumers from disgustingly greedy corporate whores. Sony, through most of its history, was great because they innovated so much and added so much great technology to the world, but now they're becoming as tyrannical as a Manhattan landlord.
