Huh?
"i can get a pc to do everything than a apple can do and more,
but apple cant say the same. "

Apple can't do everything Apple can do?

So I can run the iLife suite on a PC? (maybe when PearPC
matures)

Every day at work I run Mac apps, Windows apps, and open
sourced apps. I put it to my boss this way, buy me a PowerBook
or buy me 20,000 dollars worth of software so I can do my job
on a Windows machine. Guess which route he took.

If you must know, I'm an RF engineer and the software I needed
is for 3D terrain modeling / RF propagation studies.

Here is a test, How much would a PC cost to compare to an
eMac? Remember, it must have a DVD-R/CD-RW drive, 17"
monitor, 80GB HD, 256MB RAM, FireWire, and comparable
software. It also must use the latest OS, XP Pro, as there is no
"home" version of OS X.

That machine is 999 direct from Apple and I'm sure I could find
a cheaper price if I looked harder.

Good luck, most likely you'll end up with a Celeron.

Windows had it's place for mundane tasks like word processing,
give me a Mac to get some real work done, and Linux boxes to
for server duties.
