You're not comparing apples with apples - pardon the pun.

When you buy a PC you have to buy a Keyboard a mouse and a monitor.  
All these come with the iMac.

When you buy the PC there is no software that comes with it except the  
non Internet Standard browser Internet Explorer and a outlandish mail  
program Outlook Express..

iMacs come with all those plus other software.

M$ Office costs an arm and a leg. The corresponding iMac application  
is called iWORKS at around UKP 34.00. It contains Pages [word  
processor], Numbers [spreadsheet] and Keynote [Powerpoint].

Plus all drivers for any printer are already on board.

Builtin camera for stills and video.

Chat application - written - audio - video.

When you buy an iMac and take it out of the box it works nothing to do  
except connect to the world. All upgrades are sent to you -  
automatically, if you want.

And best of all - no Blue Screens of death.



ooroo

If you don't hear the knock of opportunity - build a door.
