Almoex: No, we weren't

First and foremost because we were comparing hardware;

We were comparing price/performance and features.

we were not comparing the quality of the OS, the availability of software, the ability to make a copy for home of the software at work or any other relevant but non-hardware issue.

Not until now we weren't. Why don't we not start at all, OK? I certainly haven't.

Second, because you only did it when the difference was in favour of the iMac. Did you add an extra floppy to the iMac to equate the configurations? How about an extra CD-ROM

Do as you please. Why don't you add an 8" floppy drive to both while you're at it? Me, I'd rather have at least a word processor with my new computer.

Your point seems to be returning to that the cheapest PC is less expensive than the cheapest Mac. This is true. But so what?

My point has been (this is about the fourth time I've written this) that you cannot match this SuperDrive iMac feature for feature at the same price. OrionX has since provided a concrete counterexample. You have merely ranted in an increasingly tangential fashion.

You're going to be wrong sometimes, Alomex. The truth is, when you get into in-depth discussions with someone who is at least as well-informed as you are, you're going to be wrong often.

Deal with it.
