So now what is the difference between an Intel Mac and PC?

So now what is
the difference between an Intel Mac and PC?
the mac is still horribly over priced.

I'm sorry to bring this up (I know I'm being a stick in the mud) but
can we take this topic off the list. I'm a big mac user (in fact
I'm typing this on my powerbook) but I like this list for the classic
not the modern.

Even if the Mac's sticker price is more than the peecee's (and I saw
one comment in this thread which implies it isn't, though I am
familiar
with neither's price point myself), this does not necessarily make the
Mac overpriced. I've never seen an Intel-CPU Mac. But I've seen
recent PowerPC Macs, and if they stick to the same level of quality,
the Intel Mac is worth signifcantly more money than a commodity peecee
with similar paper specs.

Then resubscribe to cctech instead of cctalk. I find this very
on-topic, since the mac was the last of the non-ibm/intel architecture
personal computer left standing... and now it too has fallen to wintel.
Actually, this is more like Apple losing the battle but winning the war
by joining the enemy and bearing his children, eventually leading toward
a day where all home computing platforms will be equal parts wintel and
apple.

Nah, gotta disagree jim. This is talk of current apples, and certainly isn't
on topic at this point. I think the initial notice of "hey this happened" is
fine, but we don't need a continuing thread on it.

I got a better idea. You could join up to some of the Mac list to
discuss this. I was being polite but I don't take your comments as
polite.

Cool, as a Mac user that occasionally has to use Windows software, that is
*GOOD* news. Especially as I'm stuck providing tech support for a couple
people that *have* to run some Windows apps.
Now if they'd let you do OS Virtualization (the rumor sites are talking
about doing Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux in the next OS release), that would
really rock!
