1) What do you expect from Apple?

2) The best approach is to look at total system cost, not just the
hardware or software. Add up your { favorite 386 box } price, the
software you want, and the peripherals. Add up { a Mac of some kind },
A/UX, and Apple compatable peripherals. Estimate support costs for
each, and compare.

Me? I don't buy or recommend proprietary products of any kind. 
The support cost is too high.
