Over the years, one of the greatest complaints from the IT/PC geek crew when it comes to macintosh Computers is the fact that hey are too expensive. Granted there is a premium to be paid for such technology, but is the real excuse the fact of price, or is it other things? Ever sence the first Apple Macintosh was introduced, Apple has been the red headed step child of the computer industry. Filled with laughs and geers, Mac’s have never been taken seriously. This has begun to change withthe introduction of the iPod and the iTunes Music Store. Apple has always been a sweetheart in the publishing and film edinting communities, now it is seeing top notch recognition in arenas like server clusters with the Virginia Tech super computer project , Mac OS X system software as well as PC users alike. The new price point at $499 makes it hard to keep the price argument going for much longer. My bet is that price was just a scape goat and techies will find reason to poo poo the Apple way of life.
