WTB: 2% of the market

I find most of the pricing for Macs to be over inflated. It's incredible how many people are in love with their Mac. What I don't understand is why people buy Macs when they can have a FREE Mac emulator that runs on ANY Windows OS. You can build a comparable PC for LESS.

My theory is, perhaps, Mac users are an elite group of graphic/video editing designers who are attracted to the elegance look of a Mac. And don't forget Mac users only account for 2% of the PC market.

As for myself, I am an Intel based PC Linux man, looking to test out this theory by purchasing one for myself to see what all the huff is about. Maybe, a Mac computer releases some kind of hardware love toxin? I guess I'll find out.

Looking for a CHEAP Mac Mini for approximately $200 (Power PC version).

What a mish-mash of chopped logic serving half-baked opinions.

I sure hope you're not a Minister in the new federal government.

You get what you pay for , without the stress, what is wrong with making using a computer an enjoyable experience ? You will be happy with the transition , you may have to spend more or pick up one the , older imacs  floating around , or grab that free performa , and learn the OS , whatever , best of luck , Peace .

There are no CHEAP Mac Mini's, especially, .......for $200.00! Lol. You know , if you want to join the club, you can't think CHEAP, because,as Mac users, we think quality, and we're prepared to pay for something that is a little bit more interesting.  So, if you're not prepared to pay,and your ok with virus laden, patched up half assed software and average hardware in boring beige boxes with Bill Gates as your mascot, then  stick with your pc.

I don't understand

You said it, you don't, and you probably never will.
