Sure we'll face it, along with all the other FUD you spew. Yeah right.

The fact is, if you compare like machines today, they pretty much cost similar. Go to Dell or HP or any other brand name PC store online and you'll find out it's true. Nobody buys their ram from Apple either. Most PC people don't sit at home and piece together their machines counting their time as free, they have work to do.

Face it, just because Apple doesn't make a basement priced machine doesn't equate to being ripped of. The prices today are similar, the difference is which OS and bundled software you prefer.
