I was more or less hinting at the good value we seem to get from the Mac machines. Could you imagine booting Windows XP on 400MHz and 256MB RAM... on a 10GB HD?! Vista would be out of the question.

Thanks for the tip.
Is it anything like this one?
17" iMac 1.83GHz Intel Core 2 Duo/512MB RAM/160GB HD CDN$1,099
I think that's new too. I would easily pay that for this machine.
The new 2.8GHz model sells for CDN$2,449 at the same store here.
