    Hello,

    http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050111/ap_on_hi_te/macworld

    Yuck! Small and no power and no compatibility! :P :P :P

    Plus the article says Apple has just 3 PERCENT of the US computer market!

    But that dell would be... uhm... a dell.

    This is a sweet little mac. Shuttle XPC owners get to drool over a real SFF PC now.

    I like it!

    Cheapest entry level mac ever.


    People complain macs are expensive... they make a cheaper mac. Then they complain its not enough for the money...sheesh.

    Testing and surfing the web.

    I hated it.

    Repairing them is a joke as well.

  15. wow, you surfed the web with a mac, and hated it.

    Sounds like a good reason to me, since that is why most people buy Macs. To surf the web.

    I hate the one button mouse.

    You should also try repairing a mac.

    It is a joke.

    not a G5 , they have superb cases and layout internally .. not much room for expansion though .. but build quality is first rate

    You can surf the web without a pc, so that is a weak reason at best.

    Fry's only has one aisle for Mac stuff. That is what.

    You also consider that the parts and compatibility are outrageous.

    I have had to work on two macs lately, and the first one was completely unusable. The person now wants me to build him a pc.

    A serial modem for the mac was $70.

    What a joke.

    Careful here! Microsoft is not PC. Microsoft is but one software company who makes an OS and some apps. There are other OSes and other software companies who make plenty for the PC, hence versatilty. Without an Apple OS, or Apple hardware, what have you got?
