[OT] Cringely on BootCamp's future

[Mark Smith]

Why on earth is a mac mini three times as expensive in Brazil as in  
the US? Is it Apple, local distributors  or some kind of tax? Surely,  
if not a tax (in which case, it's not a question of business logic),  
there's some kind of opportunity for someone there.

Best,

Mark
