Actually, no I haven't heard that saying before. But if you'd actually learn to read, like many people on here need to, you'd see that I said you shouldn't assume that someone has to get a new computer every so often. Yes, if you need a new computer every year or two a Mac might, and please understand that I'm suggesting that there is ONLY A POSSIBILITY, be the way to go. My point was that if you can keep your PC around longer, like 3 years or so vs 2 years or less for a Mac, that a PC is probably cheaper even in the long run.

And as I said before, depends on actual prices. It's quite hard to generalize what's going to be cheaper in the long run when actual prices matter so much. I've got my cheapo $350 Acer laptop that I'm going to keep until it no longer functions as it does everything I want already. Couldn't even dream of that kind of price for a Mac, let alone for the functions it has. It is sad that a little over a month after I got my laptop that Walmart started selling a $300 Compaq that is better at games than what I have. Ohh well, didn't get it to play games on anyway, but it sure doesn't hurt for when I'd like to.
