Macs are proprietary hardware. Only Mac can legally make it. Consequently, you pay through the nose for it.

Somebody once said "Want the world's best $2000 word processor? Buy a Mac."

Frankly, they have just about "proprietaried" themselves out of business.

There was talk about apple making OS X or a future Mac OS available for PC architecture.

What would you be needing the Mac for, btw? Most graphics progs are available for the PC as well, if that is the problem.
