buy local, if you are a student you get a EDU discount of around 10% and also take it overseas to get another 10%

This article may be of interest about the new apples and software

Posted: Wed Mar 01, 2006 1:16 pmMacBook Pro is the one that has my interest peaked. Just from the specs it sounds sweet. I bet the price will be a bitter pill though. Next tax return... BTW, I am down to one Windows box for PS and NC. Everything else is *nix. I am just so sick of the security issues with Windows and Windows software.
Cheers
Cheers

Posted: Wed Mar 01, 2006 9:00 pmYeah I thought you were talking about the mini... 
Posted: Wed Mar 01, 2006 9:19 pmAh yes, that would explain the huge price difference! 
I can definitely recommend the PowerBooks. My humble 867Mhz powerbook 12" has been a little beauty for almost 3 years now (complete and disastrous hard disk failure last month notwithstanding). you will pay a nice little premium for one though!!
I like OS X. Careful though, it's very "different" from Windows, and getting used to the UI will almost certainly throw you off for at least a few weeks while you get used to it. Now I won't use anything else as my main machine. Still have Win XP boxes for the home theatre (specialised software/video card) and fileserver (price, baby).. So I am definitely not a biased mac zealot.

Posted: Sat Mar 04, 2006 5:07 amWell, so many prices were put down back there, and secondly, google doesn't give accurate price, it only gives me good websites.
