It is obvious that you want a machine with hardly any of the features
of 95% of the population.  If that's the case, sure! Go ahead and buy
one.  You are arguing on price alone - forget that you don't get any
features.

So, you run Linux strictly in command-line mode?  No X Windows?  What do
you
use your computer for?

Quit trying to argue that Macs are too expensive.  You aren't even making
relevant comparisons.
