I assume your argument here is that a Mac mini with
1GB of memory costs round $800.00 depending on what you
can get the memory for and an OLD PC can cost as little as a few
hundred even with a Gig of memory. However it is hard to keep
up with you here Vily...you jump all over the place.

So what kind of warranty does this OLD PC come with? How
many state of the art bundled applications come with this OLD
PC? Does the Old PC have USB and or FireWire? How BIG is this
OLD PC?

Again we started this original coversation on the claims you
made about the Mac's performance. Now we are it would seem
arguing if an old PC on the cheap is a better value than a Mac
Mini? Does the Old PC run OSX? If not then I'd have to give the
Mac the leg up on that point alone. ...heh heh heh. Frankly there
are very few Macs that I can purchase for a few hundred dollars
cause well the hold their value so damn well!

So Grasshoper which has more value a new Honda Civic or a
used one? Does the car I bought for 2000 that gets me to point
A and back again a better car than the brand new BMW my
neighbor purchased to do the same?
