I hear that, I don't have a Mac, but I'm tempted to get one on this big ole desk I found, so I can keep up with you apple-junkies
A low-cost option in a new Mac is the Mac Mini, which retails for $500. That's the the computer itself. The monitor, keyboard, and mouse or trackpad are extra, but the monitor does not have to be an Apple product. Actually, I don't think the keyboard and mouse do either, but for the full Mac experience I'd recommend an Apple keyboard and mouse, although I prefer a trackpad to a mouse.
I'll remember that @Ken Anderson I want to build some credit, so need to buy something with my credit card. Maybe a Mac Mini would be the ideal thing A guy in the complex asked me to help him get off a dating site (auto-withdrawing from his bank account). He had some weird computer and he said it was a Linux. I didn't want to stay in his place long so I just figured out how to get on the web, and managed to fix his account, delete it etc. I don't know what his was, but I sure did NOT like it.
