Well, maybe it's because I work in the wrong field, but I've never ever 
seen a real, live Mac except on TV. To me, that seems pretty rare. 
(Also, presumably that's why they're so expensive? Because they can't 
sell many of them...)

So I guess *three* is a slight exaggeration. But only slight...

I suppose if you wanted to be picky, the OS will cost you 2x that amount 
alone, assuming you're getting it from Micro$oft... [And when you buy a 
Mac, you're partly paying for a proprietry OS, so I guess that would be 
a fairer comparison.]

Hmm, let me go check...

No, you're wrong.



I don't think there is any Mac in Creation that can be had for such a 
sum. And that's *the* most expensive graphics card I've ever bought, by 
at least one order of magnitude. :-P
