I have a question to those flaming Apple for the high price of Macs in Canada,
where the going (quoted on the net) price is Cdn$6150 (the last I saw, the
exchange rate was roughly Cdn$1=$.70), giving a price of $4300 for an SE! In
the US, this would buy a Mac II. Now, my question is this: can someone find out
if this is an act by Apple, in which case they deserve the flames, or is caused
by some sort of import quota, tax, fine, levy, etc. by one of the governments
involved in this, in which case some people should get off Apple's back.
BTW, I am not involved with Apple except as a satisfied customer of a Mac +.
