Aussie .Mac reduced by $31 - is it now worth it?

[ChrisH3677]

Is .Mac worth it? In Australia Apple has cut .Mac from $189 to $158 sometime in the last couple of weeks. Without publicizing it! Is that normal for Apple?

Is .Mac worth it? I'm more tempted now at that price.

PS Now hopefully they'll cut Panther - esp as the exchange rate is really good now.
