[QUOTE="technologist, post: 173114, member: 4134"] My festivities concluded, I'll give my absolute last words. 1. From Amazon right now, I can get a quad G5 for $3300 minus a $200 rebate. Thirty one hundred dollars, delivered to my door. There is no way to get a comparable AMD system for that price, period. You can add options to make the G5 less appealing, but for $3100 the G5 delivers more bang for the buck. 2. AppleCare is a service and [b]support[/b] contract, not a warranty. A support contract means - You get diagnostic utilities, updated when needed - You can, at any time during those three years, pick up a phone and talk to an AppleCare technician about any problems you have, and - If something does go bad, that technician you talked to will arrange service and turn your case information over to the service people who will do the work. That's a long way from calling a parts manufacturer, persuading them to replace the part, and having to install it yourself. [/QUOTE]
