I was in Scotland last week should have got in touch with you Ziess

 

[ziess]

Cool. Where'd you go?

 

[Gig']

was in north berwick east lothian visiting my kiddos as well as gullane/dirleton and of course edinburgh

 

[ziess]

Nice bit of the world that. Maybe a bit cold last week but certainly nothing on Switzerland!

 

[Gig']

Yup, only from midweek till sunday early am when i Left. As a matter of fact the wind was the main problem bringing temp down to freezing levels, whereas here, so far and eventhough it is windy too it a little milder ;-)

just preordered. £58. does it actually drop on my doorstep on 29th? or will it be shipped on the 29th?

89€ for german and educational version. Very tempting, but I won't buy it now. Only a few useful features and going through the troubles of reinstalling the current system.. nahhh. But still, nice price!

 

[Gig']

based on single licence education price not listed yet...

is the swiss market is a cash cow with a VAT @ 7.6%
vs european higher VAT and weak USD .... ?!

the CHF price (189.00) translate roughly into EUR 122 USD 157 GBP 83

 

[padishahemperor]

oh, nice...

(he says choking on drool)

"Down Mac mini, down!! You can't have it yet I'm too poor!"

I think in May I will be picking a copy up... I'm going to be in London from 4th - 6th May, do you think they'll have a copy?

that's education price rite ?

Nope, special price through Neptune store, to qualify you need to satisfy conditions at http://store.apple.com/Catalog/chfr/CustomStoreImages/neptun_project_store.gif , I work in the international community around Geneva.

Also, given the exciting news, how come the chat room is almost empty? Just me and bob there, and he's away.

 

[MDLarson]

I voted "Right away" but only because I was waiting for Tiger to buy my Mac mini from ColorWare. I'm a gonna have it painted "Techno" blue and install it in my WRX!!!

 

[fryke]

(That Mac mini will _melt_ in the sun. You can blow cool air to it from below all you want, won't change much...)

Hey Ziess, how old do you have to be for the education discount? I could really do with it.


Thanks!
