Hi,
Being a Mac and PC user, i disagree to some of your ideas.
1: 1. Costs to much
-yeah it does, but at least it comes with all the software to edit video, and burn dvds without buying extra software and hardware. It has firewire built in, so no need to buy a PCI firewire card.
Macs also hold their value. In 1999, I purhcased an Apple iMac and a Dell Dimension. Dell= $3,000, iMac $899
I just sold both machines on ebay, and I got $499 for the iMac, and only $20.00 for the PC! I spent more for the PC too. I lost over 97% from the PC and only lost 50% on the Mac.
2: 2. Games and Software library does not match the PC's
-Yeah the Mac doesn't have as much games as PCs, thats why I built a Gaming PC. and now, developers are starting to create programs for Mac and PC because now Mac uses it UNIX platform for their OS. It is very stable, and feels more stable than Windows...
3: 3. Upgrading is 10 times more expensive as it is hard
- It is more expensive to upgrade the processor, but upgrading the memory and the hard drive costs as much as upgrading a PC. They BOTH use the same parts. What are you talking about hard? The PowerMac G4 and the G5 uses a door that opens the computer. It doesn't use screws and its VERY easy to upgrade. Upgrading the iMac, iBook, Powerbook, are easy too. They have the same ideas as upgrading a PC notebook.
4: 4. HOCKEY PUCK MOUSE
??? Apple switched the mouse to the Apple Pro Mouse, which is an Optical and buttonless mouse. You can put pressure on any part of the mouse and still click! You must be reading old reviews or something.. The Pro mouse has been like that for already 2+ years!
5: 5. Stability {MAC's Crashes are the worst}
-Umm... No! They are more stable than PCs. I had my iMac on for months without reboot (running Mac OS 10.2.6). PC crashes are the worst! If it were to crash and you need to reformat, you have to deal with the DOS prompt and the FDISK Dos program. you have to mess with the BIOS settings just to boot from the CD! To boot a CD from the Mac, just hold down the C key upon pushing the powerbutton. Formatting and Reinstalling is much easier than WinXP.
6 and 7: 6. A mid range mac is slower then a low range PC 7: No one has one
-go to:

www.apple.com/myth
8: Thats your opinion. At least they make cool stuff like the Apple iPod, Apple iSight, makes video confernceing much easier than MSN messenger.

Macs are WAY easier than PCs. Its expensive though, but worth the money. They last longer (i mean like don't get outdated as fast as PCs) and keep their value....
I could say more, but there is too much comparison...
thanks
