There's a history between Dell and Mac. Here's an article that was in yesterday's MacDailyNews. In addition, Macs now run both PC and Mac software so you can be PC-free.

Apple now worth double Dell’s market value

Apple Store
On October 6, 1997, in response to the question of what he'd do if he was in charge of Apple Computer, Dell founder and then CEO Michael Dell stood before a crowd of several thousand IT executives and answered flippantly, "What would I do? I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders."

A little more than a month later, on November 10, 1997, new Apple iCEO Steve Jobs responded, speaking in front of an image of Michael Dell's bulls-eye covered face, "We're coming after you, you're in our sights."

On January 13, 2006, after a little more than eight years of hard work, Apple Inc. passed Dell, Inc. in market value, $72,132,428,843 vs. $71,970,702,760 at market close respectively.

Today, in intraday NASDAQ trading, Apple's market value passed 2 times that of Dell's, $127.81 billion vs. $63.65 billion.

Got any snappy retorts for that one, Mr. Dell?

P.S. Mac user from the beginning. I owned one PC, but gave it away. It was a Dell.
