[QUOTE="the8thark, post: 565349, member: 26315"] I always used to think as a kid and still think a lot of people do that PCs are for work and number crunching/programming and Macs are for the fun and artsy stuff. But with iwork and all the pro apps APple have out now I think many people are realising I can have one machine in which I can do everything on. Sure it costs more but it's worth it in the end. Ok, ok, well I see it this way. A work station of PCs in an office would need a lot more work to keep the network going than an Mac based one. So the Mac network wouldn't need as many it support staff to maintain the computer network. So all those saved wages go into the cost of the Macs. And when the PC network will need replacing/repairs, the Mac one will still have a few good years left in it. So in the long term there are savings. Plus also less maintenance means more productivity. So also more savings there. So in my books Dells being cheaper then Macs initally (and going the dell route) might actually mean a lot of extra cost down the road to keep them running. [/QUOTE]
