This isn't spam, an ad, or solicitation, but thought Mac usersmight want to get the BEST deal possible. As a Canadian Mac user, I Just spent a day in Buffalo, NY shopping for some hardware...Imagine my surprise that American prices matched Can. dollar for dollar, except if americans bought from canadian retailers you would save %50 on the exchange. Go check some Canadian sites for your hardware needs, you might be pleasantly surprised!!!!

Dollar for dollar? I wasn't aware that Americans paid $2399 for a new G4/400. Or, say, $1199 for a new base iMac. If this is indeed the case, then am I ever happy, because before I was under the impression that I had to work aboout 40 percent harder to afford a Mac than did an American...silly me. Oh well. It could be much, much worse. OK, maybe just a little worse.

P.S 15% tax anyone?
