Macintosh Computers suck

[Perndog]

I agree with Chimp about the price issue, though maybe not about the power... The G5 is currently being touted as the fastest PC on the market (MACS ARE PCS! PC, PERSONAL COMPUTER, THINK ABOUT IT!), but they cost far more than Windows-based systems. Per the buck, you will get far more power and, more importantly, customizability out of a Windows machine.

I built my own computer with $1000 that has a 1.66 GHz CPU, 512M of memory, and a near-top-end graphics card. That was a year ago, and prices have dropped since then. On the Mac side, a $1000 eMac is has a 1GHz processor and 128M memory, and you can't find an iMac or a Power Mac for less than $1300. Even with the faster frontside bus, which offsets clock speed somewhat, Macs don't have the same power in the same price range.

Therefore, Macs suck because they're expensive. I will not pay an extra $300 for a computer just because OS-X is better than Windows (yes, it is).
