Once again, if you read my post instead of pressing shift+8 all the time, I said it's an arbitrary number that you think is right. eMachines are cheap machines at cheap prices. Value is what Apple is all about. Buy a used one for crying out loud if you have to.
As for the rest, well, I think you should let your mouth do the talking and not your ass.
The only reason why $400 students should save is becasue there is no viable alternative for them.The $500 students should have an alternative in a mac that is cheap. I really shoudlnt expect you to work this out on your own should i.
this arbitary number is a number based upon:
Me going to a college prodominantly made up of students like me.
Me working as this student
Me working with all my friends who are this student
Me visiting numerous other countries like Malaysia, portugal, australia, with students like me.
Me realising that this (based upon experience) number is most likely the average number for a student in the market i am talking about.
Now tell me ****head, how do you come up with your "numbers"?
eMachines break so this is not a possible option, and this misses the point which is about apple sp[reading its user base over a more varied type of people. Buying a used one is also not possible...thats right tosser... because it makes no inherent gain for apple, this is about apple targeting a market. Did you not even read what the subject is on about?
Apple is about value for money???
Ok then u little ****head explain to me why a PC of comparable price to the imac with a 1.2Ghz athlon kicks the **** into it.
Apple is about a quality product which u have to pay extra for. that is what people on these boards have been saying for a very long time but u havent noticed because you are naive.
As for the rest..... oh wait there is no rest to disprove, now look who talks out their ass. I have no pity for those hard of thinking.
