Unfortunately, not so. Even regardless of price, Apple's laptops are good choices for their better battery life, but their desktops are still more expensive than desktop pcs. I wish it were otherwise, so I could get an apple, as well. This came up recently on another list I'm on... For the same price as the middle-range mac, I can put together a dual athlon 1.2 box with four times as much ram (ddr) and a better video card. And I don't mean to argue over platform either, especially considering that I like both for different reasons. -- -Gregory I hate trying to come up with something worth saying in a .sig file. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
