Flawed logic. Incomplete data. The feedback at the bottom of their
page doesn't agree with the editorial any more than I do.

They don't even discuss the concept of DIY PCs where you can pick
and choose components, and upgrade only the ones you need instead
of buying a complete new computer. IMHO that is the great difference
between the Mac concept and open-standard PC. I would think that an
article in a Linux forum (of all places!) would comprehend open
standards better than that? Apple has used all means possible to ensure
that they have no competition to either their hardware or software
products. That is not an admirable business concept IMHO. YMMV.
