Doc,

No worries. We're all guilty of typos. Its the human element and no reason to apologize. And yes, I am a fan of the Highlander series. But more of the television series more than the movie.

Later.

Subman, please forgive my typos. I played football instead of typing class. I meant to write that Apple spent millions developing the OS and hardware, while Psystar usurps, including selling systems for which free code was specifically not meant for resale. So, I don't even think that they deserve to win, even if it's legal, which it probably is not. You could wonder what a win for Psystar would do to Apple. Profits could take a nose dive and slow OS or hardware development, although how much hardware are we talking since most of the parts are off the shelf. Any way, sorry for the typos.

Doc

PS, are you a Highlander fan? i was just curious.

I fyou compare the closest HP [$2,369.00] to the Mac Pro tower [$2,299.00 when you change to a single CPU like the HP], both with single 2.8 GHzXeon chips, but the Mac has 8 core and HP 4 core, and the HP has NVIDIA Quadro FX 570 (256 MB), but the Mac has ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB and mac has 8ooMHz RAm while HP has 667Mhz. But you must add $249 for Apple care to get the same 3 yr warranty, so the Mac is actually $2,548 with better hardware. Probaly need to add $50 to HP for video software or not with Vista? Any way it's close. The Psystars are not the same hardware [Core 2, not Xeon], so it's not a great comparison to the Pro Tower. BUT, if benchmarks are close, you can still save cash and upgrade earlier in the future, which makes Psystar a better deal, IMO. Also, Psystar to spend millions developing hardware and software, but put cheaper parts together to make a buck, at the expense of the company that owns the rights to the OS and gets all the complaints when something goes wrong. That's not cool, but wouldn't stop me from buying:)

NOW, I compare the entry 17 inch MBP to a simlar spec HP laptop and there was around a $1000 difference. Yep, the similar MBP costs one thousand dolllars more! You know that I don't like to curse on the web, but WTF? You really gotta love them to buy it. Again, IMO. My kids beat up all their toys, so you can bet that you won't see Mac laptop in my home anytime soon. I'll stick with Vista laptops, thank you.

I know Psystar's suit has a lesser chance at suceeding, but they've proven that the Apple markup of pricing is excessive. They've built a computer with almost exact Apple specs for much less than you'd pay for a Mac. The benchmark scores from were pretty good on the Open Computer. If its really about healthy competition, shouldn't someone else have access to OS-X? Apple shouldn't be the only hardware provider for OS-X, if its true competition. I know Apple doesn't see it this way, but as a consumer, I want to see this lawsuit suceed.

Besides if Apple really wants to compete with Microsoft directly, jump into the OEM market. Quit playing it safe as a niche player. Or Apple should move aside for an OS that's willing to challenge Microsoft Windows. Its the only way to get real innovation and change in the industry. IMO.
