    Thought it was interesting that the price of a new Apple is almost the same today.

    And look at all those awesome games, spent many hours playing Decent II!

    Wow, and to think I believe we had about 10 of those products! Links LS! Classic game! And looking at the memory, we've come a loong way in the last 13-14 years.

    That $2400 Mac comes with a 1.6gig HD and 16mb of memory

    Edit: and no display, that 15" crt will run you another $499.

    Crazy...

    I agree- I do film and music production in my spare time and everyone says I need to get a Macbook pro... okay, if you want to donate $2,000! I can't afford that chit, and my HP does just fine thank you!
    Also, not sure who games here, but most of those games are under $35! Man I miss those prices, at $60 a pop I have to be really choosy which games I buy, bc if they suck I only get like $25 out of them max.

    Umm, you truly get what you pay for when you buy a mac. Bought my father in law one when they converted over to Intel cpu's and it just went out this year and that was because he spilt a beer on it, over 5 years old and more than 7 hours a day everyday working on it, yea it was well worth it.

    I have a 17" HP of similar age and run time, that I spilled a whole cup of coffee in the keyboard, had it take a couple of 3ft + falls among other things and Im typing this post on it...
    Oh and it was 1000's less than any mac at the time so I think it was well worth it

    Just like Ford vs Chevy or Glock vs XD's everybody has a favorite..
