I disagree the Mac is ridiculously priced. In fact the cost of ownership for a Mac user will be less than a PC user. Sure you pay more on the front-end, but the cost of upgrading the OS, applications, and so forth is less, and you are getting a more quality product for your dollar. There is a price for innovation and quality, so I digress from the thread, but let me toss in the final note that if you had to purchase a windows screen reader with that PC, you would pay about the same price. :)
