Quote: Originally posted by MCQ Okay. I guess I'm not going to win the "add more to the base spec" argument then. BTO it is. BTO is for the very rich. Apple is ridiculously overcharging on RAM and HD. Order the bare minimum and buy the stuff…

Apple has never in the last 5 years or so had a web site that was valid html and/or up to the then-current standards of web design. This is not going to change now or in the near future. They obviously are using a patchwork of content-management …
