I don't know if anybody replied to this, yet (I didn't notice in time about
the iMac comment) but I think Apple's customer service sucks all 'round, no
matter what sized customer they're serving.
And in response to the "overpriced" comments... I agree with the user who
swapped out the hd and stuck in more ram on their powerbook. it is possible
to create a powerful machine without "over"spending. most of the parts on
the newer G4s are also PC compatible. The ram, PC-100, and the HDs (the two
biggest components on a PC) can easily be replaced with parts found on a PC.
And also in response to the useability issue. I think for a home user, and
a small biz, a Mac is in every way viable, if not, better because of the
ease-of-use factor. Word Processing... Internet...Email...MP3s...They all
have good, if not better, programs out there for Mac users. In terms of
graphics, macs are up there as well, with Photoshop, Illustrator,
Dreamweaver.. these professional programs are also available for the Mac.
Now, for Large, corporations it is harder, because a large portion of the
database programs are PC-only, so that makes it very ;) hard to use a Mac.
Programming in C++ or Java. I now prefer the PC environment for programming,
but that's not to say I've never programmed on a Mac. The mac programs may
be harder to come by, but that doesn't make them worse than PCs.
And in relation to MD... I liked the mac for analog transfers more at first
because the speaker/headphone port on my iMac was so much easier to get to
than the back of my tower. Though, now that I have the aureal vortex card
with a TOSLink i think I'm going to like my PC more for transferring music.

You're not the first. Apple has a history of poor relations with large
accounts.
