I'm in love with Mac OS X Leopard!
Paper and pencil. I think that's what AMR uses.What would "unknown" be?
I have no doubt you are right. But folks like you are the exception. Most consumers don't know enough, nor even want to build their own computers. But the folks that do, (like you) aren't going to be Mac's target audience.Also, I can build a PC with quality parts and have it work right the first time I plug it in at less cost than buying a Mac. That's a fact.
Get this....For example, I have two custom-built PC's in my house. One motherboard is of the quality type ($130.00 brand new) and the other is nearing monster type ($200.00 when I bought it brand new). I buy motherboards by manufacture, chip-set, and by layers. Layers signifies how feature rich and sophisticated the motherboard is. The higher the layer the better it is. At any rate, there is a lot more to motherboards than the average person knows.

My son's 17 inch iMac blew the motherboard. He was plugging in his electric guitar to record some music but his guitar chord had a short in it and blew the motherboard. A replacement for a iMac motherboard is about $650!! I think that's ridiculous. That's where I have a problem with apple, some of their prices are simple way out of line with comparable items form other manufactures. I realize one might make the argument that they are superior but 3 or 4 times the cost??? I don't think so. :nono:
Any way.... I am a Mac guy, I always have been but that doesn't mean I think that apple is perfect by any stretch of the imagination.
Yeah, I am sure it's motherboard is specially made but sheesh! I told the guy at the Mac store I could buy three PC's for the price of the repair on that iMac. :madmad: I could understand paying maybe $350 or $400, but $650 is ridiculous. After labor costs the repair would have been $813. :nono:That is ridiculous! iMac is the one that looks like a monitor, right? The motherboard must be specially made due to the size, shape, and configuration of this type of computer. Still, that's way too much money!
