It's really shocking how ineffective things like pitcher filters are when compared to a quality cartridge filter. The pitcher filters really do practically nothing.

I know. I looked into it. That still doesn't justify a $52.Xk Mac. Sure, other shops in that field are going to be spending the same kind of money, but less of it on the Mac, more of it on networking and storage. Then again, when you&#

I don't understand what one would do with a $52,199 Mac Pro. If you're blowing that kind of money on a Mac, you probably need to seriously rethink how you're approaching your technical and business processes.
