Next up in the lawsuit line of fire: Dell

Apple has been
under
fire lately in the legal arena, and now it's
Dell's turn to take the heat. The class-action suit names bait-and-switch tactics, false advertising and fraud as its major points.

The number one complaint is from consumers who call in or follow a link to an ad for a low-price unit and are unable to find that unit available – only a similar version at a higher price point. Mac Observer reader Biff follows up with a great point: "It's not the lawsuit or the unscrupulous practices that I find amusing. Apple has their share of both. What I find amusing is that these mysteriously nonexistent super cheap systems are the ones certain people always bring up as examples of why Mac's are so expensive."

Snap!
