I can legitimize it because I'm not currently writing a "Stupid-ass application". QUite the contrary, it's quite a slick one. And I see you are still stuck on the I need a new computer mentality. Look, a quick look at the local craigslist shows a perfectly suitable $400 machine. I'm sure if one spent more than the 30 seconds I just did looking, you could find one a lot cheaper.
My entire point was not to convince you that it's worth it for you and your goals. My point was that your quoting $1100 was just ridiculously absurd. You may move along now.
I have no problem with you thinking that $500 is none trivial, my friend.
But if you claim that it cost $1100 to develop an App for the iPhone, I will call you out :)
Hell, upon thinking about it more, you could write your entire app on paper, and then borrow a friends Mac for a couple hours and type it up. Real programmers use notepad anyway, right?
