OK, one Australian dollars about 51 US cents, so...
1. $4000 inc tax.
2. Free. Upgrades free. Shweeeeet.
3. Nope. Haven't even thought about it yet.
4. Nope. "MAC for the Brain-Dead" is below my level. "MAC for programmers" is more than I need. He he he
5. prob abt $30 all up.
I wasnt thinking of the computer
My mind went to the cost of OS X...
At $400AUD, that would mean about $200USD...I took into consideration that there might be inflation causeing the OS X CD to cost $200USD instead of the norma $130USD we pay here
1. $0. Still using my 350MHz slot-loading iMac.
2. $99. Got it on special sale from MacZone, and got the free 10.1 upgrade.
3. $0. Not sure what kind of exam you had in mind. A colonoscopy?
4. $60. I broke down and bought 2 books, one a general guide (waste of $) and one on programming in OS X.
5. $5. I bought one issue of MacWorld that featured OS X.
1. iMac. $1700 Cdn.
2. $120. Cdn. Mac OS X. I bought this separately as I bought my iMac when the public beta was still out. Another iMac I bought later had it included.
3. $0
4. $0
5. Many issues of MacAddict have have Mac OS X articles. Although I always bought MacAddict, even before OS X was out.
All and all - pretty great deal for computer nirvana
I have sold my red electric guitar(Stratocaster-Daytone) for buying macfan for half the money. I own also a Yamaha PortaSound PSS-370 keyboard and this is not for sale!
well the look of longing and desire on the faces of any windows user that I pull my Ti Powerbook G4 out in front of was well worth the 3300 I spent on it. Hell, having the best operating system, the largest screen and the fastest notebook in the world is just an added bonus.
