"I paid a premium for Apple equipment, because of the quality of equipment, lifespan, and service I used to get. Now I have lower quality and lower service, at a higher price." full details and has no support because he didn't buy "AppleCare" - sounds like worse treatment from Apple, than you would get with Time, at least with Time you pay a low initial cost for the PC, and then pay some money for extended "care" (eg �200 for 3yrs support) - with Apple you pay a rediculous amount for the Mac (probably twice as much for the Mac, than a Time PC would cost - eg - cheapest mac - �649.00 for an eMac - 800MHz PowerPC G4, 128MB SDRAM,40GB Ultra ATA drive,CD-ROM drive,ATI Radeon 7500,32MB DDR video memory,56K internal modem is a joke!) and then �139 for 3 years support. Sounds even worse than Dell, who the majority of the time include 3yr support as standard, and if they don't, they only want an extra �129 for 3 years support. The chap, who is also responsible for the mikado website ends the article with "Everything I do can be done on a PC, faster and cheaper."
