Or $40 for parallels and cheap upgrades since you were an early- 
adopter, and $99 for "OEM" Windows XP, after buying the Mac some more  
RAM -- since all the retailer has to do is "sell you hardware" to show  
that you're building a machine to qualify to sell you their OEM  
versions.

Wasn't my idea... it was the retailer's...
