It's a myth that Macs are more expensive. An eMac with a 1.25 GHz G4 processor, 17-inch flat CRT display, 40GB Ultra ATA drive, 256MB of 333 MHz DDR SDRAM, combo drive (cd burn/dvd read), ATI Radeon 9200 graphics w/32 DDR video memory, two firewire 400 ports and three USB 2.0 ports, 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet and 56K V.92 modem, and AirPort and bluetoothe ready for $799 is one hell of a deal. I personally have this computer, except with the 80GB hard drive, a superdrive ( cd burn/dvd burn), and a gig of ram.
I play UNREAL 2003 and 2004, Star and Warcraft, Diablo 2, Age of Mythology, Battlefield 1942, Bloodrayne, Call of duty, Command and Conquer, Civilization 3, Ghost Recon: Desert Siege, Halo, Homeworld 2, James Bond Night Fire, Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast, LOTR Return of the King, Max Payne, Medal of Honor (all of them), Myst, No one Lives Forever 1 & 2, Rainbow Six 3, and numerous other games. Everyone seems to think that there are no games for mac. Now I know better.
I'm not going to list all the applications and software that I have, but I can basically do anything on my computer that someone can on their PC.
MikeC, can you be more specific about what's ridiculous? Do you mean that you think that PCs are made to the same quality as Macs as far as hardware? Please elaborate.
