Sounds like you were looking at one of the international store sites...the prices you quoted are the same as the Australian store. :black:

Yeah... I just checked and it looked right to me.... I wonder if it is a hint that they are getting ready to upgrade the iBook line.

Edit: D3v1L80Y is prolly right.... As I doubt they are updating the PB and the eMac too.

The prices wouldn't be higher, because you'd convert all your American dollars to Aussies when you moved :)

Maybe they were doing maintenance and switched something around.

The apple site is actually full of little bugs here and there:

If you are on the automator feedback page, the 'automator' link right at the bottom actually takes you to the Final Cut Pro product page...

Click to expand...

Actually if you account for the exchange, you'll see you do pay more. Likely accounting in large part for import duties.

This is also true... another good reason to be happy I'm an American- Macintosh is based here!
