I have never had this need for more "power." So maybe you can elaborate a bit.
Of course I am talking about the fact that the Apple demographic has always been Parents of young kids and people who don't play games and basically yuppies. After our IBM crapped out our family moved to Apple and was very happy with it. It allowed us to learn the windows interface and it had cutesy graphical touches and a simplistic design.

Now that the years have passed, we own six PCs all with decent power compared to a mac. Power meaning the ability to process intense graphics for gaming and animation. Plus they are just flat out faster than macs. I hate using the G4s at school and so does every person who sits next to me it seems. I always say, "damn, I hate these pieces of s---" and the person next to me says, "yep me too." and then I look at the screen and the app I clicked on thirty seconds ago is still loading...

That is what I mean by "more power". The power to think. The power to animate and the power to haul butt!
