Because apple has not the amount of sells as pc systems so the stuff is more expensive ...
But they are cheaper than they were used to be ... I found out that I could get a brand new eMac with 512mb ram for 1160CHF so around 700€ ... which is quite low compared with the fact that it has a screen etc.
but I will wait until my actual loan ends in a few months ... perhaps G5 emacs are around till then ( iMacs with G5 are around ... would cost me 1850CHF -> 1200€ )
