Okay, I’ll let your statements that Apple users do NOT overpay for any add on devices... Really, do you believe that? If so, I will succumb to your statements. Does that make you feel better? Does that make your statements true?
Yes, I believe it... because it happens to be my experience and it happens to be true.
Why wouldn't they be? Look, I just bought a 1.5 TB drive USB2 external drive for my 24" IMac... . Why should it cost anymore than any 1.5TB USB2 external drive for a PC? IT didn't. The 1.5TB drive was $109. Says on the box it came in PC/Mac. They didn't add on any extra cause it was going to be used on a Mac or even ask me if I was going to plug it into a Mac.
Last month I bought a Samsung Color Laser All-in-one printer/Scanner/Fax ... cost me $250... again, it would have cost me $250 whether I plugged it into my iMac or into my Dell Inspiron. Says on the box... WindowsXP, Vista, Windows7 or Mac OSX. It made NO DIFFERENCE on the price. Two weeks ago, at Fry's I bought a new Logitech USB trackball to replace my twelve year old one I've now used on three successive Macs... the old one still works but it looks a bit grungy. It was $25.95... marked down from $49.95. It doesn't even say it works with the Mac... but it does. I just plugged it in.
You are swallowing the hype that 1> there are Apple peripherals, 2> these mythical peripherals cost a lot more, 3> Mac users are ignorant boobs who waste their money on glitz.
