Umax sells a 603e/180 for ~$850 And even if you buy an 'overpriced' Mac from Apple, look at all the different parts. Then goto an IBM shop and buy all the extra stuff you didn't get with it originally (too bad you can't buy real Plug'n'play :) ). Then the Mac will probably be cheaper. IBM's are only cheaper because they're stripped-down. (BTW, for you IBM'ers: a 180Mhz PPC is faster than a 180Mhz Pentium, and Mac programs (note: ON THE AVERAGE!!!!) usually take up less space) (Just backing you up, Georg. Actually, I expect a lot out of someone who could actually install MSN.... from what some editors of PC trade pubs have said, it's much more painful than a root canal)
