Yeah apple accesories are expensive. 30$ for an ethernet adapter. BTW i voted in your pole. My whole family hated the genuis bar name. I buy most accesories of DX now 4 dollars vs 30 for power adapter
Got a tip for us?

I do. Overall, I prefer it to Leopard & Snow Leopard due to Mission Control, gestures, full screen apps, better filevault, better time machine, & versions. I do dislike the iOSifying of Mail and iCal, but I use Outlook so that doesn't affect me.
Favorite right now is the Mac Pro. It's represents what Apple is: a beautiful mother****ing monster.
I don't really hate any of the Apple products right now, but I don't like how Apple charges $40 for AppleCare on the iPod shuffle when the shuffle is only $50.

my hate has nothing to do with the processors , they are not bad at all , its simple i dont like intels policy of trying to push any competition from the market since the late 80's insteead of working close together with the "competition", a monopolization means technology on life support, you will then only get what one company thinks is suitable for your needs and offer you what makes the biggest profit using the least effort
i would go as far as saying if we would not have those patent wars all over the world , we could have by now the power of a MacPro in a computing device the size of a iPod nano and would not need petrol to drive cars and nuclear power-stations to produce electricity or ....
instead of fighting against Samsung over the galaxy tab Apple could have said ey your display offers a higher resolution we adapt that
or Apple could say ey the AMD bulldozer platform with its 8 cores is great we take that too for our top of the range iMac , after all intel had basically fallen in the back of Apple with the ultrabooks
healthy competiton is good for the consumer , but if it goes to far it becomes a monopolization and that is everything but good for the consumer and holds technology back

Had lots of favourite Macs over the years - the best has to be an 12" silver G4. Bought in 2003 and has worked happily ever since - despite 8 years of near solid abuse - including when my daughter dropped it (open) down a flight of steps. We simply reattached the bits that had come adrift (Battery and a couple of keys) - bent the case back into shape and it started up fine. Still going strong...
Least favourite - the way iTunes handles purchases across multiple machines - agh! drives me mad!

Hard to pick between my favorites, so many good ones out there. But, to narrow it down to three...
1. eMac
2. iPod mini
3. iBook G4
My least favorite, no question:
1. iPhone
It's been a while, feels good to drop a line every so often.
