When you're not living in the US, Macs ARE about twice as expensive as comparable PCs. Because of the US export fees, plus the despicable tendency of many US companies to charge non-US customers more for the same product.

Example from two years ago, when I was considtering buying a Mac G5 for its 8 GB memory support. US price: $1899.- Dutch price: € 2500,-. 
At the time, one € equaled $1.30. So a Dutch customer would have to pay over $3000 for exactly the same machine that would cost a US citizen $1900.

This kind of crap does NOT happen with PCs. I always build my own from good quality components manufactured in the Far East. A Taiwanese mainboard manufacturer doesn't care who buys his merchandise, as long as he gets his money.
For € 2000 I could buld a VERY fast PC that ran circles around the fastest Mac of those days (and in the Netherlands a Mac with more or less comparable hardware would cost over € 7000)

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
