I own one of the most uber Macs you can have at the moment. 24" iMac with dual core 2.16GHz Intel processors. It was nowhere near $3700, even with tax. Someone's palm is getting greased. For $3700 you're looking at a Mac Pro with all the bells and whistles. That's way overpowered for just doing business cards and speeding tickets. I call b*** s***.

I am not an Apple fanboi by any stretch of the imagination, but as an IT guy I can buy that reasoning.
