How much money have we spent on Apple products?

[BOSS10L]

Don't you know the first rule of hobbies is to NEVER, EVER tabulate how much you've spent on it (or them)? It's defeating, especially when electronics are concerned.

I agree with BOSS10L, buuutt...

A new 24" 2.8 Ghz iMac back in August with 4GB RAM and a 750 GB hard drive.
A 750 GB external Firewire 800 hard drive.
A cordless Mighty Mouse
A Logitech MX 400 laser (corded) mouse
A Logitech MX-620 cordless laser mouse
A pair of Seinheuser (sp?) headphones
A 5 place USB powered hub
A Lightscribe external DVD/CD writer/reader
Various and sundry pieces of software including Leopard.

I never added it up, but I'm sure it's not much..

But you know. . . the thing is with Apple products. . . after you buy, you don't think about the money. At least I never had. I find it to be completely worth it. I'm sure a lot of other people think that. Honestly, did anyone here think about money after you bought you're Apple product?

To quote Sir Henry Royce (of Rolls-Royce) "the quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten."
I don't know and I really don't want to know how much I have dropped on Apple products. All I need to know is how much I have enjoyed using them and the hours of pleasure my family has had visiting our .Mac site to view photos from family gatherings. ( DO NOT get me started on how much I have spent on Nikon stuff, my wife sometimes reads this site!)

Oops! How could I have forgotten the iPhones!!!! I bought a 4G and 8G on the first day! Been in love with them ever since.
