Okay, so say you buy an $850 PC that a year down the line gets a virus or something that costs more than $250 to heal your hard drive and recover your software and files? You've just spent the equivalent price of a Mac, which as of yet has not been haunted with such problems.

True enough - showing my Mac ignorance here, does it matter much that the hard drive of an iMac book at $1100 is say 160GB while the PC at 850 would be either 250 or even 320 with up to a 3G of memory? I just don't enough about Macs to make an intelligent choice.

Depends on what you plan to use it for. If you're like most of us, who surf the Web, do e-mail, take a few digital pix or movies here and there, shouldn't be that much different.

If you make a LOT of movies or take a LOT of digital pix (i.e. either professionally or a really committed amateur), then it might make a difference.

I'm not a Mac salesman by any stretch of the imagination, but this might help:
