So... buy a $1000 Mac today and keep it for 4 years.
-OR-
Buy a $400 PC today and in two years, take another $400 that you saved and buy another $400 PC that far surpasses that 2 year old mac's hardware. This way you end up with a more powerful computer, 2 computers AND $200 in your pocket.
Moore's Law FTW!

Say it with me, brother...
"
Macs are not over-priced. Yes, they are more expensive than I am willing to pay, but when compared against equivalently spec'd PCs, they are actually cheaper."
You can do it. Come on! Hit me with it!
