31 years old, married six years this summer, father of 1 and one on the way, and I'm a PC. (note "I am a PC" as I am not usually very P.C.)

Inspired by Josh...

So anyone that reads Josh's blog (linked to the right) knows he is a Mac and I am a PC. The most recent article that he posted over on his blog made me think about all of the similar articles and even some of PC's poor attempt at battling the Mac vs. PC commercials. Ok a little background info. A 17in mac book is about 2800 and a comparable Dell notebook will run you about 700. I was thinking what can you get on the PC side of the computer world if you actually compared dollars spent and not just processor power and hard drive size. Lets find out......

1.Dell Laptop 729.00

2.Surround Sound system 410.00

3.50in. Plasma TV 990.00

4.PS3 400.00

5.Wii 250.00

You could wire all of it together and run your laptop through your tv and surround sound system. And you would have just over 20 bucks left over after buying this. OR you might opt to buy THIS RIDICULOUS LAPTOP with twice the processor power as the Mac book pro and have 900 dollars to blow on really neat user friendly programs that will help you edit your bands music or organize your digital photos. You could probably even have Mac OS leopard installed on it and make the Mac-man really annoyed.

I was just thinking, maybe some of you are parents of teenagers. You could buy them a Mac or the 729 dollar Dell and THIS Mercedes from Craig's list. You would still have 71 dollars left for gas money too.
