I guess it might be the imponderable, why?
Since Macs prior to the Intel switch were shit it beggars belief why
Macs hold their value more particularly in the case of a G4 craptop!
The prices are held high due to the idiots that are prepared to pay more
for less. Not a great boast.
BTW I am not a Mac hater this was written on a MBP and I'm about to buy
2 Mac Pros.
