I've given up.
We all remember fondly using Mac's in school. How simple and fun it was and so... well, kiddish. Then we graduated and went out into the big wide world. Replete with suits, paychecks, rent, and Microsoft. Was this really the price of growing up?Well, I've decided to go back to what I learned in kindergarten. I've ordered a Mac mini with all the trimmings not just because it's not Windows but because it's so f*kin' cool I can't stand it.
What I didn't count on was the difference in price in Australia versus the US. Now I know about exchange rates and all, but how Macintosh in the US can cost half again as much Down Under is beyond the pale. Even in cheerful Australian dollars it's a ripoff. Someone is making money on this and I'd like to know who. I was thinking at first it was that very droppable "Mac" guy in the Macintosh ads (Apple? Are you listening? John Hodgman is freakin' HILARIOUS and you got a drip to play your product) but since he hasn't changed his grey monochromatic togs in for FUBU, I figure it must be the Australian government.
Johnny? John Howard? Where's my refund? Psh! No wonder you're smilin'...- Farmer Ted
