I never said monitor, keyboard etc…
My prices though were not too far off.
But there are a few things to this article response to Renaldo’s quote:
“Yes, I do believe that Tiger will mark the beginning of substantial user migration to the macintosh platform; even at the business level.”
I only know about a dozen guys/gals with MAC's, but each have had their share of “Superior Hardware” issues.
Hardware goes bad.
Most people know, MAC has better hardware… then a e-machine or standard Dell, but most shops that are using Linux and even a fair amount using Windows, are building their own. That said, I admit my pricing was off, because some machines do not need anywhere near the power of a MAC or a well built PC with either Linux or Windows.
Most businesses (that I have had dealings with) have different computing needs for different departments or personnel. Some just office apps. And email, others doing a little more number crunching and multi-tasking.
I guess a good analogy would be that MAC’s are the off road 4 wheel drives of the computers. And MAC’s are a show room model. Where as many others build their own 4WD vehicles and tackle the same terrain as the MAC’s.
And with that philosophy, there is where Apple is missing the boat.
The majority of people, businesses included do not need 4 wheel drive and a little escort gets them going fine. And the companies will not budget a jeep for everyone when they are not ever going to go off-road.
I am not, repeat NOT knocking the quality of a MAC, just the foolishness of Steve Jobs trying to get rich on each machine.
I like how MAC’s look and run, and I wish they would not be so proprietary and have a much larger share of the market that they deserve.
Thanks and no offense intended, just venting some disappointments.
