>>>It is difficult to compare the two. The DELL unit uses CISC and the Macs use RISC.<<< There is no way the average consumer is going to even consider that a factor in their purchase decision. LOL! I'm just trying to picture a salesperson at Best Buy trying to sell a PPC based on CISC vs RISC architecture. ;o) ------------------------------------------------------------- Average John, his wife, and 2.2 kids: "Hey, what's to convince me I should buy this PPC and not this more affordable Dell over here?" Salesman ($4.25/hr) Bob: "Well ya see...this PPC over here uses RISC architecture -- yessiree!" Average John, his wife, and 2.2 kids: "Um, ok that's all well and good, but what does that mean for us?" Salesman ($4.25/hr) Bob: "Hell if I know!" Style, Now you are getting into marketing. You are absolutely correct and I laughed forever reading your post. It is too classic and accurate. The next question: Average John: "Who do I ask when I need help with this Mac? My friends all have Window based machines" Salesman Bob: "Do not ask me. I know nothing about them." Glenn
