For me my PC's were, and are as I still have 4 of them, just a buncha' parts I threw together. I've never owned one that I didn't put together myself from spare and third party parts, aside from my 2 laptops. But my Mac.... That was an investment. What I got was more than well worth it for what I payed, and the next one will be even better.

They say that, "New York Life is the company you keep", well Apple-Mac is the computer you keep. With a little upkeep they work great for years, and years, and years and they retain their value well past the packing container they are shipped in. With the typical Windows machine it's worth about as much as a paperwieght as soon as your warranty is gone. Not so with Apples. It is a hobby of mine to dirve the nearby neighborhoods on trash day to do "computer shopping". I have found countless perfectly functioning Windows computers over the years. I have found exactly 1 Apple. They are collectors items when they have out lived their usefullness. An IBM machine is scrap.

You do the math.
