I don't think Altena is talking about that particular argument. We can all agree that, if we price it just by hardware costs, a mac costs significantly more than a PC. There's been a few arguments that said that a)bootcamp is just a bad virtual machine (which isn't true.). b) apple does some sneaky things in updates (which is true, but not any more so than windows.). c) an argument that sounded like all macs are cheaply designed. (which wasn't the argument at all).

I can understand that stance on not buying macs. My macbook was bought second hand. I just needed something small and apple to toy with.

But let's face facts. We're not apple's target audience. Neither you or I would ever buy a prada bag or eddie bauer SUV's. Meteor survivor t-shirts, however...
