Same here, Connie.. if I could get the same horsepower and value in a mac system as a PC system, I might consider them, but I just can't justify spending 3 times the cash to do the exact same job.

And when I look at my home network of 4 systems, while I probably have $4000 in them, I'd have had to spend $10,000 on them if they were all Macs... and the nearest product  support center for Mac product is 2 hours highway away from me. So everything Id want to buy would have to be internet order only, and some thing I prefer to buy on local sales, and prefer local support on.

And with gas prices and general prices spiralling upward out of control, and the dollar devaluing daily, I'm counting every single nickle and dime.

When I ever get rich, I'll buy a Mac laptop as a toy.. but odds are that'll be 10 years from now, if ever.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
