Come on who are you trying to fool. Apple is out to make a buck on EVERYTHING they do! The MAC doesn't use 18 memory chips, Apple is too cheap to put parity checking in its computers. MAC has only 16 memory chips. Also I really doult if Apple is paying $30 a chip! But even if they do pay that much, 16*$30 = $480 dollars. Looks like a lot of room for some profit. Lets keep all the facts straight. Apple exsists only to make money and you can be sure that everything that Apple does is to make more money. I hope people will forget all this nonsense about Apple being kind. Otherwise the next thing we will hear about is how IBM's great social virtues took it to the top.
