I actually looked at that, but: A) there seemed to be a ton of duties/import fees involved to the point where it pretty much didn't seem worth it... B) I'm not there, and apple support/tech is pretty sparse over there (due to the high prices) so I decided that even though a jaguar is a better car than gremlin, if you're living in a country with no jaguar parts, it's better to own a gremlin. :) -- Michael Bryan Bell http://homepage.mac.com/michael_bell/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
