		<description>&quot;They will want something that &#039;just works&#039;.&quot;

That&#039;s just it Yusuf, PCs generally don&#039;t.

You&#039;re technical, you know how keep one going. I&#039;m technical, I got tired of wasting my time tinkering when I could have been working.

I could never, ever go back to a PC.

As for value, I never had a PC I could keep longer than two years.

My Powerbook G4 on the other hand, bought in March 2003, is still going strong. Surely the cheapest machine I have ever bought, despite being the most expensive in outlay at £2599!

Have a look at this too: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tuaw.com/2008/08/07/toms-hardware-says-apple-and-pc-prices-are-equivalent/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.tuaw.com/2008/08/07/toms-hardware-says-apple-and-pc-prices-are-equivalent/&lt;/a&gt;

Wassalam,

Shahid

(Who knows he is being a little cheeky and does get your point about absolute value)
