A totally absurd comparison, as you simply can't do that.

I'm glad you have limitless funds, but many of us don't. I paid just over a
thousand dollars for my computer, a substantial investment for me. in other
words, not a purchase made without planning and saving, etc, etc. A Mac with
the same "power" would have cost me at the least, $2500. In other words, if I
was going to get a Mac, I would still be using my old P II 300Mhz PC for at the
very least all of 2005, and perhaps some of 2006.
I understand the advantages of the Mac. However, I do have a friend that is a
photographer and lab owner. He is using a cross platform system, and has no
alegience to either system. According to him, there are things to like and
dislike about both.
Were you in my position, what would you do?
Bill
