We pay about $450/mo including electricity for a 35' slip in california. So about $12/ft. A couple of marinas cost more, and several cost less, usually between $350 and 500 for a 35' slip. I spend maybe $1000 on parts per year and $2000 on maintenance. It's like owning a cottage. Most everything will last for 20 years but then due to rust or UV or mechanical wear things begin to break at a pretty rapid pace.

They were popular but they were famously bug-ridden and unstable. Nobody misses Windows 95 or XP, btw.

Hell, NT was the first moderately stable OS they had, and that was just because someone had the bright idea to halt new feature development for a period of time and focus on fixing what they already made.

Used Apple products less than 6 months old usually retain 85% of their retail value, so selling for close to half of retail, especially for something where an older model is not available yet, is really stunning. This was supposed to be a flagship "everyone has got to have one" product that was going to sell out, and sell for more than retail on the secondary market. By apple standards somebody is going to lose their job over this.
