I'm not trying to start a "computer war", because I'm on the Mac side.  Just
as you say, that IBM clone doesn't come with any of the things which make the
Mac a computer that's easy to use.  We know that.  But then again, Mac
enthusiasts who know that aren't looking for the low end Mac-they want the
high powered Macs.
The average person who wants a first computer will say "the Mac looks really
nice, but it's a little expensive." to which some uninformed bystander will
say "so get an IBM clone 73624 which can do everything a Mac can do and
cheaper".  The poor buyer might get stuck with that machine.  But if the Mac
costs the same, that person will walk away with a good, high-quality machine.
