Greeks have souvlaki, not Apples

It appears the Apple store in Greece is using 1999 US-Euro exchange rates and prices all iMacs at least 20% more expensive than in the rest of the Euro-Europe.

Check prices here:

These are subject to 19% VAT.

where in France you get (the newer models for):

Same in the UK and Germany.

That's why greeks won't have apples. They'd rather have a souvlaki.

Cheers

I agree with first post

At least update the MiniMac to the X3100 video. That's what I am waiting for. The new 45nm Core 2 would be nice too for less heat.

Oh suddenly you guys are respecting religiously the english rules for capital letters... but seemingly only when writing names of hyped products that don't respect these same rules...

ok, ok, right, it's your site :-P

But what about...

...the venerable Mac Mini? It's still languishing on the old GMA950 graphics chips! If anything deserves an update it's the Mac Mini. iMacs have had shedloads of updates.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
