- Being in a country that some unkind people liken to the "boonies" [just
- head south from Australia, and if you've hit Antarctica, you've gone
- too far], I'm interested in ordering a Powerbook 145 direct from the
- States. [I'll be honest - I can do without local "support" (I use the
- term in a meaningless sense) - and I want to know if I can save money -
- being an impoverished teacher].
-
- SO....is there anyone out there who can point me in the right direction
- for ordering from the States, AND give an indication of likely costs?
-
- Thanks for your help.
