have you seen how expensive Mac's are these days? To be fair... Apple is FINALLY offering some 'lower' priced models these days... albeit still far more expensive than PC's.
Due to video editing, which I do a LOT... I cannot get the cheaper models. I'll be in the market later this year and I'm staring 6 grand right in the face. WOW... that's high.
Oh, and when I say I can't get the cheaper models due to video editing what I mean is I make some pretty intensive videos for people.. special effects, lots of titles and transitions and stuff... I *could* do it with a cheaper model but it would mean 30 minutes of video work and then 2 hours of cussing and waiting... too much frustration. I'm sure you can appreciate that....
