Apple Apple is holding their European Expo and nowadays being a Mac owner thought I'd go along. If Apple has such a pitiful market share then you'd expect it to be a small show with little software and few visitors. Er No, this was the complete opposite. Pictures of the Expo included.

Agian we see the sense coming through...

Yes you can buy a no name (or even sometimes Name Brand) PC for less than an Apple, but as a friend of mine found recently these "super value" PC deals usually require "significant" upgrades to reach what is usually considered a current PC. At that point the overall cost of "value PC + upgrades" vs "Decent Name Brand PC" vs Apple kit don't leave that much to choose between...

Linux/FreeBSD etc. can extend the life of old kit PC if you are
a) tech enough to know it is there
b) tech enough to handle an install
c) only want to do the "usual" PC user stuff

I have 10+ year old Macs that can still do that stuff

Need I say more...

Flame on dudes...
