You're seriously trippin', Alan, it's a joke to think about getting a
mini PC from HP, today. The form factor isn't even really comparable.
The basic point I made is sound, if you aren't hallucinating massive
advantage from CPU alone (this point really *is* sometimes comparable to
OEM PCs, which is what Apple is competing with on *price*), the Apple is
going to cost more and more to overtake the real specs of what I have.
