That and the fact that PC's lose their value far faster than Mac's. How much is my TiBook 550Mhz which I bought 3 months ago worth now, compared to new then :-) Actually on the PC side, I haven't found this to be the case. If you buy the lower end - say a Pentium 4 @ 1.8Ghz! = $899, it

The issue of manual availability aside, your statements are very curious to me. Let's face it -- Apple is a hardware company -- they make their money by selling hardware! In a perfect world (for Apple), every day they should be able to increase market share by attracting brand-new customers, and

Hi, A quick question - is there a way for me to import my address book list from Outlook Express to OS X's Address Book? My problem with Outlook Express is that I've never found where it stores any of its information. Or rather, it doesn't seem to make an 'address book file' or anything that
