Was amused to see how our PC friends were switching every other year, or so, with 286 to 386 to 486 etc. (I think).

I think that we paid about $2500 and then we purchased an Apple laser printer for about $4K!

Since then we've had three more desktops and three laptop/MacBooks.

These are the only Apple products we use. Sadly, it appears that Apple has been shifting its attention and support to the newer products: iTune, iPhone, Smartphone, iPad etc.
