I wish they (the government) would do that with tariffs here.

Oh yeah, it's going to hit a lot of people hard this. Glad I bought my new gear last month.

Personally, a jump from £999 to £1020 wouldn't put me off.

It's £21 at the end of the day, that's a few pints, a few games of pool, and a kebab on the way home.....!

And a couple of scratch off tickets!

£21?

That is almost all of World of Warcraft Cataclysm at £30
And almost half the cost of ilife 11 at £46.
So that £21 could be useful.

Oh I know how useful £21 could be, I've just had to cancel my gas and electric direct debits as my bank balance was too low. I'd rather have some snotty letters from the energy people, than ones from the bank charging me!

My point in a roundabout way was, if you've got £999 to spend on a shiny new Mac, then I daresay you'd be able to find another £21....

Would any of you be put off by an extra £21 then?
