But, what "a" user needs is not the baseline in product comparisons, since there are than one user. Unless one of the product is missing a crucial feature (like LIGHTSCRIBE!! we all hear Edwin chime in) you have to assume that both products are equally fitted for "a" user.Mayor Of R'lyehChance FurlongWarchildMayor Of R'lyeh
That old horseshoe has been disproved time and time again.
Only when artificially skewed in the Mac's favor.
How is it artificially skewed in the Mac's favor? I ask for in formation only.
The most glaring example of that is the insistence of using the Mac as the baseline instead of the user's wants and/or needs.
The other way is to try and inflate the costs of PCs by insisting on adding some phantom assembly fee that you're supposed to charge yourself for building your own PC. That's like insisting that you charge yourself what a restaurant would every time you cook your meal.While I do agree that time spent cooking is time wasted if compared to going to a restaurant eating (i.e. the convenience of having someone else do the cooking has a certain amount of value), I agree that this isn't important in computer comparisons.
