First off the fact that Mac's have been perceived as 'more expensive' is
really a bad myth. You CAN go up to Alienware or go to comp USA or anywhere
else and buy PC's that are much more money than any Mac. We build PC's here
and our typical PC sale is about $1500-$2300, or approximately in the range
of what a Powermac costs. This is because we design PC's that are robust
enough to handle the needs of digital audio and video. This is not to say
you can't run digital audio apps on a $599 Wall-Mart special, it's just our
customers want professional machines, not some cheez-ball consumer internet
box. 

The only real difference between Mac's and PC's has nothing to do with price
or performance. It has to do with stability and the OS. Apple designs the
Operating System and the hardware it runs on. The OS is very tightly
integrated into the hardware, and for this reason you get more stability
than it's PC counterpart. Microsoft makes an OS that, to it's credit, runs
on a multitude of hardware architectures, and does this fairly well, but MS
cannot possibly cope with the sheer number of variables this produces. This
is the only difference. For the performance you receive Apple Computers are
not over-priced at all. You just have less options and choices than in the
PC world, and no competition.

Also, currently Logic only runs on a Mac.
