Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Regarding new mac-pro versus used ....

I just checked and mac-pro's START at $2499 + $250 tax in California = 
$2750 MINIMUM.... with minimal ram which will need to be upgraded. On 
the other hand, Mac Pro's are sitting on ebay now with $800-1000 
starting bids... and maybe more ram and an extra hard disk.

Apple's introductory tower used to be $1500-$1800. In the midst of an 
economic downturn, they have evidently raised their prices. But this is 
happening all over the place - quietly raising prices on things. For 
example, I bought a bunch of screws in Home Depot in little plastic 
bags that used to be 88 cents, now $1.18. Dog food that was $8.99 a few 
years ago, then $10.99 is now $12.99.

I have bought 5-6 new macs in the past years, but I am just going to 
sit on my current older mac pro for quite a while. I don't think its 
worth it to keep a G4 or G5 as its a dead archetecture and no longer 
supported. So I would get a Mac Pro tower, Imac Pro, or Powerbook Pro 
as your budget allows - keeping mind that having more ram is really a 
necessity.
