 Those prices are laughable!
 Either the customs people are jacking-up the price when they cross the
 border, or their is no decent discont Apple dealers up there!
Ouch!

Actually, I know that software going into Canada gets about 20% tacked onto
it.  I'll bet that the PC-clones are assembled in Canada and therefore
don't get taxed-up-the-ass.

A Mac + with a 20 Meg Dataframe is about $2500 (a while ago, it has
probably gone down since then) in the San Jose area of CA.
