Where did the prices come from for the mac?  If thats the best
you can do, let me know; "have I got a deal for YOU!"

Also I think you're forgetting that a large amount of software come with
the mac; for approx. $2500 (US), I can get a 512k mac with second drive, a word
processor (macwrite) a graphics package (macpaint), a game (the puzzle DA)
and many utilities (plus the guided tour with cassette!).  Not to mention
the two tons of public domain DAs, games, pictures, etc.

Not to mension detailled documentation is available (Inside mac, although it
does cost a bit of extra bucks).  Not to mention that Apple actually listens
to the users (via the net). Not to mention ....

No doubt the Jackintosh is cheaper initailly, but don't forget the philosiphy
behind this: Atari plans (as far as I know anyway) to make money on the
software and accessories, not the machine itself.  Pay now, or pay later!
There may be a market for the Atari ST, but I'll keep my mac thank you.
