I can confirm that "better is more expensive". I disagree that Apples are
merely more expensive. Monster is a different ball park.
l 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.
I think they tried that once and the result was flakey hardware. One can
certainly argue with varying success that that is one of the IBM
architecture's shortcomings.
