The biz Dell desktop I'm using right now is 8 years old. Has 18 gig HD and the original Windows 2000 OS on it. Works beautifully. I have another one which will replace it when I get around to it. I paid $200 for it. As for laptops, I'm hard on them, primarily because I use them for Coast Guard purposes. They are in bouncy boats in all kinds of weather conditions. Nonetheless, I buy them used for a couple of hundred and abuse them for a couple of years, then get another one. Would I dare do this with a hoity-toity $1200 Mac? > > >You are certainly welcome to your beliefs. > > > > Thanks. > > > > > >Every Mac I've sold used went for 50-60% of new price or better. > > > > I never had to sell one of my PCs.

Bingo...which is precisely why it makes no sense to spend $1200 on one when it will be obsolete in three years. -Greg

How about $1199? How about $1100? Or $1000? Or $900? So we're agreed that your statement that it makes no sense, makes no sense, aren't we? In the real world, it depends on a whole host of factors: Are you getting something that works better for you? How much are you going to be able to sell it for when you finally want to replace it? -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia <http://gallery.me.com/alangbaker/100008/DSCF0162/web.jpg> |
