Well ! There's been quite a few people claiming that Mac is cheaper
than a PC and vice versa. Why don't we make this more beneficial to
the net ? How about posting the lowest Mac/PC price you know ......
remember to include the source, exact configuration (ie. disk space,
RAM size, display type), and any special discount consideration.

Then, those who want to buy whichever machine can know a real good
price and go for it.


-----> On a different note ......

If you want fire breathing power ..... and is not afraid of UNIX ;-)
..... why don't you take a look at the newly announced HP-9000 series 700 ?
57 MIPS at under $12K and 76 MIPS at under $20K list price, just as my
.signature says. Of course, my opinion is solely my own and in no way 
represent my employer. I am just saying the above because I am absolutely 
impressed with the raw power of these new machines.

ps: A SUN SpareStation II clocked in at 28 MIPS.
