Here's what about 3K$ CDN (before taxes) gets you:

* Two 2.0GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
* 1GB (2 x 512MB)
* 250GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
* NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB (single-link DVI/dual-link DVI)
* Apple Cinema Display (20" flat panel)
* One 16x SuperDrive
* Apple Keyboard and Mighty Mouse - French Canadian
* Mac OS X - French Canadian

I realize that Xeons and the special RAM they need don't come cheap, but its still a lot of dough. Maybe Apple should sell a cheaper Mac Pro. Apolyton nerds have no business buying one of those.

That is a computer for people who work with digital video or digital audio, or do heavy professional graphics work.

It is not a toy for video game geeks.
