Uh, try competition and volume sales.  That's what drives PC software
prices down.  Mac prices are inflated because the whole damn system is
proprietary.  Just now Apple is opening up the OS to 3rd party vendors.
I used to be a Mac geek until I did a 6 month contract at Apple.  Bunch
of kids writing really shitty seat-of-the-pants crashware.  Management
is completely stupid.  No vision or reality.  I bought a 486, Visual
C++, and got the fuck out in '93 and never looked back.  Now I use NT
Server.  It DESTROYS the Mac when it comes to reliability and
availability of tools and industry SUPPORT, not wishful Copeland
fairytales and no-new-OSs-this-year-itis....  Etc, etc.
