There are two types of people in this world. People who drink Coca Cola, and weirdly people who prefer Pepsi. People who drink Coca Cola use Macs and people who drink Pepsi generally use PCs. I myself prefer the real thing and therefore drink Coca Cola while driving my Mac. As for the cost issue! My first mac was an LC 11, Ive upgraded my Mac every 2 yrs to the latest and greatest maxed out version, but Ive never actually owned a computer. I rent my computers from Mac finance, the premiums are totally tax deductible, (not tax deductible on a percentage of depreciation if I owned them) so in actual fact I don’t pay for them either. At the end of the two year cycle, I send the old computer back and they send me a new one.
