I am fascinated that the myth of "price' still exists, with regard to mac. Of course a few skilled people can build their own cheap PCs and deal with the problems that result from it.
And yes there are very cheap PCs, and i guess thats where the mac mini is trying to compete.
However I am sure there was a piece of research by Gartner that showed the costs of a Mac, even in the high price hey day, lowered considerably over time as they cost less to maintain.
I am lucky that I manage an all mac system and network,(mostly OS X with two macs on OS9) it is so stable, I worry i have done myself out of a job.
Just to add, I have just converted my mac support web site over to xoops, having been on IPB for a long while, I got into XOOPs when I built an help desk at work using the xhelp module. It seems to work well (sometimes a little slow) but i i like the community.
