The pound is strong. Does this mean Mac prices will drop in the UK, or do I have to go shopping in America?
It's nearly there - currently a US$ is worth 52.3p... (last week it was 52.8 and a week or two before it was 54p).Originally posted by iGAV
I still think the $ has alot of falling to do against our pound... $2 - £1 in the next month??

I'm planning to get an Apple wireless bluetooth mouse if nothing else when I go out to America in May - I'll be able to visit the Grove LA store too (first Apple store!). I always thought £55 was ridiculous to pay for a mouse, particulalry when I already have one and it only has one button! For £40 ($69/2 + a bit of US tax), it might sway me, even though that is still hefty!

As long as the PB isnt boxed and giftwrapped, it shouldn't draw too much attention - I will let you know!

I agree we need a house price down turn. I don't earn badly, but as I dont own a house, to get what I need for the family - 4 beds really - I need to pay nearly 250k for something nice in the south east! Crazy
Already have one. Only a graphire2, mind, but the mouse is great and the pen is good enough for all I'll ever do. Got a good deal on it and it came with Photoshop Elements 2. But it's not that portable... I like the idea of shoving a Bluetooth mouse in my bag and just taking it out to use while my PowerBook is out and about.Originally posted by iGAV
Drop $$ and get a Wacom, they come with a 3 button mouse, and a tablet is XXXXXXXXXXXXX times better than any mouse on the market....

pack clothes in the PowerBook box, pack the PowerBook box in the suitcase, carry the laptop on the plane (in a laptop bag of course) watch some movies on the flight back, and walk through customs... easy...

Do you reckon they'll accept my UK student ID in US Apple Stores?
