My PC's hardware (peripherals included) cost me $2800, and I got the video card for free.
My PC's OS and software (all inclusive) cost me $0.
I love Linux.

People are scared of mac computers because they are scared of change, even if it might make things easier.
ie. "Oh I'm so scared there is no right click". Well newsflash Macs do have right click and even so things are easier with only 1 mouse button if you just give it a chance.

I was a 6 year windows user... I just switched to Gentoo Linux recently, even though it makes things harder (initially.. learning curve isn't that steep)
ie. "Oh I'm so scared there is no right click". Well newsflash Macs do have right click and even so things are easier with only 1 mouse button if you just give it a chance.
No right click makes things MUCH harder. My entire application tree is accessed through a simple right click on the desktop...

If you had a mac you wouldn't even have to right click.. all your programs are at the bottom of the screen in your dock anyway.
