Remember, Apple is in the business of providing value for their shareholders, not catering to people that want to shoot space aliens in high resolution. That's a problem people don't get, not every product in the world is made for them, and they get annoyed when a company makes a product they don't want. Get over it.
Apple has ALWAYS been overpriced. From their demonically priced original Apple ($666), to the grotesquely priced Apple II line, to the $10,000 Lisa, Apple raped you.
But here's the reality, they never forced anyone to buy their machines, and they have been a very successful company with respect to taking care of their shareholders. They have also almost always beaten Microsoft to the punch, and have pushed hardware much further than every microcomputer maker out there, with the possible exception of IBM when they were still in the business.
On top of that, Apples are the best machines for the price - if you like the way they work. I'd pay the extra cost if I preferred them, regardless of whether it meant an excessive profit for the company, or not. They deserve praise for being the only x86 computer maker out there that actually makes something different, and has computers that give their users are unique experience. If that unique experience suits your needs better than Windows, then it's worth the cost. Period!
They aren't for me, that's for sure, and never have been. We used to call them MacIntoys, in fact. But, I respect the company and love the fact they still are out there, being different, and giving people a choice. The computer world would be worse with Apple gone, not better, even though you can't shoot the evil Zargons in high detail, on an Apple. Fortunately for you, Zargon hunters, you can get a PC to play on. For the other people who use computers to be productive rather than as toys though, Apple offers a solution that might suit their preferences better. I am not knocking gaming, by the way, as it would be hypocritical of me, but I am just saying it is not the end all of computers, and is not what everyone uses them for.
Choice is good. I am glad Apple is around - for other people that like them.
