As has been pointed out on this list before, Macs tend to hold up longer
than Windows machines. I think some of this is due to the quality of the
equipment, and some of it is because unlike MS, the Mac OS and now OS X
does not force the antiquation of the equipment.

I have seen other arguments that show competitive value for Apple
computers. The most believable arguments show Mac vs. Pc to be
closer than most people think, with no significant advantage on
either side.
I personally see value in Mac OS X over Windows, but that is just
IMHO. I use XP on the job and OS X at home, so I know both.
Unfortunately I use XP at work more often than OS X at home.
Thank you,

I am a Mac/Apple user, but am not sure I agree about resale value
driving market. Do any of you regularly resell old computers?
