To Chris Wohl, who wrote to say:
"I see that you cannot read. 4 GB's of memory is $1,200. 2 gigs is 500."

I reply, "I see you can't read or think, 2.0 GB memory DOES costs $1,200 according to:
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?nclm=96D4DAC9

Also in the UK apple store, 2.0 GB memory costs £820. See for yourself at:

You're such a tool. It's the Euro symbol.

Proper "english" would have probably originated in ENGland, eh?

Anyone with a brain in the US, probably has a palm print on their forehead after reading your comment and saying, "please, somebody shut this kid up."

Obviously Chris doesn't read the INQ articles, and just looks at the pictures. ;-)

from the article:
"The Apple store is selling 2GB PC2-4200 DDR2-533 DIMMs for the Imac G5 "with built-in iSight" for a staggering $1,200."

Apparently, depending on the model of iMac, the memory price varies quite a bit.

Cheers!

Sun could have spend 10 times 500 million dollars and still wouldn't have the best OS. The best OS was written some 30 years ago and is still bouncing around inside HP somewhere, even for sale. It's called VMS and for all you VB script kiddies who were born after 1980, as I assume Bryan was, it was (and is) an industrial strength OS, used on very many mission-critical systems. It has NEVER been cracked or hacked, even though the best have tried, and it never will be.

So Sun wasted 1/2 billion on yet another UNIX-based desktop OS? Too bad for them.

VMS later renamed OpenVMS died the day DEC sold the Alpha to Compaq which was subsequently bought by HP. It *was* a great OS, but know what? It's time came and universal support was nowhere to be found for OpenVMS. Don't knock what you don't know. I've worked with VMS, Digital UNIX aka Tru64, HPUX, AIX, Solaris and Linux - and I won't make derogatory comments about any of them nor say which is "best" or "industrial strength". As a professional - I can comment on the weaknesses and applicability. Having system uptime for years - that's an OpenVMS strength. Having a GUI that blows Vista away is a Linux strength. Let's not start wars over which is better. People reading are from all walks of life - let's educate not create unwanted bias.

I dont know where you got your information Chris Wohl, but according to the links I have (and some searching on my own), your prices are, well, dorked.
