then I agree with you. Here they (Mac) cost even more than there, but the simply fact that my father (58, and one who got his first pc when about 52) can use the iMac without calling me every five minutes to ask me how something works(as he used to do when he was using a pc), is quite worth for me.
IMO they have a greater value, perhaps not proportioned to the price, but more than what a pc does. they have some peculiar characteristics that make you prefer those to a pc, for example the fact that the iMac handles RAW files as if they were jpeg makes me love it.
the problem with Mac is that a lot of people buy it just because it's white (the equivalent of a red car I suppose) and obviously cool. the most of the are not going to even use it properly, nor they do with a pc though.
