This isn't the place to go into all the details, but those expense and
speed of Apple computers ideas are both a myth to a large degree. For a
start you save a ton on after-purchase Microsloth IT sup****t, plus Macs
use a totally different chip design so trying to compare a 3GHz Pentium
X to a 1.8GHz GX is pointless when based on just those numbers.

Apple has also just released the Mac Mini, a US$499 computer (although
you do have to add a monitor and keyoboard / mouse to theat price).
