Default audi allroads aren't cheap either dude

so what's your point? we should all use crappy stuff that everyone can afford?

I think its ballsy and creative to think about adapting a mac to fit inside the space where a radio normally resides. itunes is a bitchin app/biz model, and I can't think of one app I'd need to use that I can't run on mac os.

more to the point, anyone who knocks a mac is just plain ignorant. no offense, but seriously.... you can't beat os x (and this from a guy who started a information security software company!)

once you've had mac, you never go back (i just made that up:-)

Default There are about 30,000 appications out there for Mac OS X.

The only areas you'll have issues are the proprietary applications. But there is usually a Mac OS X version for almost everything.

Not everyone needs obscure business applications.
