Yes well :) Assuming instead of the Apple keyboard and mouse, and the iSight, you get a $20 keyboard + mouse bundle from Target, and a $30 craptacular webcam, the total comes to $2763.70, less than the iMac.. but the quality of the thing isn't going to be the same as using the Apple stuff, which is what I'm really comparing. Using the apple keyboard, mouse and webcam means you can compare exact qualities.
I'll also grant that the $2479.30 for the iMac is not obtainable - you have to buy the mac with the keyboard and mouse, but for the purposes of comparison, we do know how much the keyboard and mouse will cost to buy seperately.
I'll agree that Mr Twain's statement applies to this, but also to almost every other thing in the PC industry :)
(and yes, you should reply to liz's comment.. some of the mail looks like a telstra bill.. :)
