Title: Cdn Price for OS X.4 ?
Post by: Stittsville_Mike on April 14, 2005, 07:06:00 PM
I see the US price is $129, which should be around 159.95 $Cdn. 

A bit steep, Apple - for a company that issues annual major revisions of its current OS.

  Let's compare notes here on price, altho I suppose and would wager that price will be very tightly controlled.   

What's with those discount coupons Apple always includes in its boxed software, anyway ?   Seems they never give you a chance to use them for anything, so why bother with them?   I just upgraded from ILife 4 to 5 and had to pay the full price, despite having received discount (??) coupons with Ilife 4.

Am I missing something ?

Dude.  Apple doesn't "expect" you to shell out anything.  It blows my mind how people get upset by being offered something new for any amount larger than free.  Do a cost/benefit analysis!  If the provided value is $149, then scoop it up.  On the other hand if you don't want it, don't buy it -- your computer will keep on working just as it has been.
