What a waste of time on your part.
The guy was being facetious, surely you could tell that...
Over a 5 year life span, cost of ownership is lower than that of a PC.
Let's take an example...
A Dell Dimension - £599 with XP or Vista(before they try to sell you all the crap you don't need)
Over 5 years you'll need to pay Norton £40 every year for virus rubbish
Microshaft Word - £80
As standard no decent photo editor, plus time it takes to defrag. Even though it looks like you get more RAM and storage, think of all the system resource virus software drinks.
Total: £879
iMac 17" 1.83GHz - £679
Includes iLife
No virus softare
iWork - £55
Total: £734
The Mac also comes with a built in camera, bluetooth, Airport Extreme etc... to add all that to a PC adds to the £879 you've already splashed out just to do simple daily tasks.

Or you could save money and use AVG instead of Norton... Or perhaps use Open Office...
Though on the negative side you'd be stuck with a Dell.
A cost comparison has no relevance when you load the dice or compile your argument out of ignorance
Hummm after owning nothing but mac for 20 years, I went back to a PC for a while, had 4 bad macs the past 7 months , I will buy a mac again, but waiting for the the next new thing...
first Vista is amazing, and really love it.
battery life on this HP(cheap 499.00) is much better then my macbook.
Runs much cooler then my macbooks!
Built better then my macbook.
Quieter the my macbook...
and faster on every day mail , photos and webs browsing.
all this for 499.00 new.....
Not bad at all
