I'm not sure this is always the truth. I asked several local computer 

suppliers (for business) to gave me quotes for machines that matched 

the configuration of my B&W G3.400 (UW SCSI, ATA, 4-port serial, USB, 

firewire, ethernet, sound, video acceler, etc>= 100 Mhz buses, etc) 

the cost of all of them (sans monitor) was +/- $200 of what I paid 

for my Mac and these were all no-name PCs. I understand that someone 

in the know could probably get all this stuff much cheaper from 

warehouses and configure it and with some effort get it working after 

finding drivers the really will work together. But, this is 

business-- no time for that.


In my world, Mac cost less and always have.
