I can honestly say that RA has gone down-hill quite a bit since Cannington
closed. It is my opinion that CDM (the parent company) closed the wrong
store and got rid of the wrong staff.

On the bright side though...

Mt Hawthorn and Joondalup AppleCentres are by far the best Apple shops that
Perth has EVER had. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable (Hi Dan, Rod,
Chris, Anthony, Marcus, Nick and Mike!), the shelves are filled with stock
(now there's something new!). Best of all, they are not owned by PC centric
companies! (RA is owned by CDM and G-Mac is owned by Abacus).

Desktop Applications is another great shop, though they focus more on the
professional design and graphics market.

Oh... And did I mention they are all WAMUG Corporate Members?

Give them a call. I think you will be pleasantly surprised!

Mt Hawthorn - 9444 9988
Joondalup - 9301 5333
Desktop - 9322 6789
