Not OT Alomex: No retraction yet?

Not wanting to re-open a subject that is doubtless a sore one for so many other board readers, but it really is about time that you swallowed your pride and acknowledged your error in characterizing any other computer as being able to match the features on a SuperDrive iMac at the same price. You have committed an error in fact in doing so, and you owe it to this community to set the record straight.

Both OrionX and I (much less the Wall Street Journal) had no problem in figuring out which PCs would match up feature-for-feature with the SuperDrive iMac and came to the obvious conclusion that no PC could match its price, especially when considering that (say) Dell charges $95 for shipping while shipping from Apple is free.

Your subsequent argument that you could "build" a PC from multiple vendors with the same features by buying a Dell 4300s and an external DVD-RAM drive is an obvious (and false) red herring, since such a PC would not include an equivalent to FireWire ports, iMovie, or iDVD. I could just as easily have made the argument that I could add iDVD and an external DVD-RAM to a $799 iMac and be considerably less expensive still.

Now would be a good time for you to come clean on this.
