[Cialug] distro for ibook

[Afan Pasalic]

One thing is not clear to me. Is there REALLY good readon why apple 
computers are so expensive? quality i hardware can't be the answer 
because the same hardware configuration with Win is at least 30% less, 
some times more then 50%.

them cheapest macbook is $999. I bought toshiba laptop few months ago 
for $550 with, I think, superior hardware. if macbook was $600 or $650 I 
would buy the one. but to pay $400 apple logo on compuer? c'mon...

I think with these prices apple will never reach more then 10% of market 
share. more often I think they play "noble product" game. only "special 
people" (rich?) can have it. lice cadillac or mercedes or porsche...
