[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote name="FoK"][quote name="The article"]Both Apple and Dell are guilty of using misleading prices. For example, Apple gives the price of the low-end G5 as "$1999", and the high-end G5 as "$2999". In other words, they have subtracted $1 from a $3000 computer to make it seem cheaper, which is absolutely ridiculous. This demonstrates that both Apple and Dell are willing to mislead people when stating their prices. [/quote] I guess I can't buy an Apple OR a Dell now. I can't believe they would deliberately mislead consumers like that. I feel so... victimized![/quote] The only way the clown in that article can defend his paragraph there would be if the last thing he had personally purchased was a box of puffed rice during the Depression. Jesus. Someone please indulge a question from someone who has not used or had access to a Macintosh in six years: Will all applications currently available for OS X and the G4 work on a G5? (I ask, as Intel and AMD are putting together CPUs that would still be able to run a copy of Zork from 1980 and it is my understanding that Apple has not particularly cared about that level of backwards compatibility over the last twenty years.) the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey![/quote]
