A web search on "senior computer" picked it up:

The thing is very overpriced for the hardware you get, but it is
exceptionally simple to use. You're basically paying for the user
interface.


it's also exceptionally dumbed down, however, the target market aren't
power users.

Kind of what like Apple does with OS-X, another company
that managed to tame Unix and make it palatable to the average person,
but you need to buy overpriced hardware to run it.


it's nothing at all like os x, nor is the hardware overpriced.

I was not going to focus on price here. If you look at price comparisons
the Mac usually compares quite well, too... the idea they are overpriced
for what you get (from an OEM) does not hold up well to evidence.

There are some caveats to that: most price comparisons are done shortly
after the Macs come out -- and that is when Apple gets the biggest
benefit in those comparisons. Also: you have less choice to leave things
OUT. If you do not want a IR sensor for a remote you are SOL. It comes
with it and you pay for it anyway (on an iMac).
