Bob,

re: URLs. Simple. Cut and paste it from your "Location" window onto the text document. Insert a "return" before and it. Delete any "<" or ">" bookends.

re: APPL Australia vs. Clones.

Hmm. Sounds like they're doing what they've got to do. The point of bringing in the clones is/was *not* for them to feed off your chuck wagon but to do their *own* ads and take share from Wintel.

It's silly for AAPL to pay for ads that bring people into the store and then have salesman sell customers Brand X.

It must be especially galling because X can keep it prices lower by not paying for ads (and not providing the same level of customer support.) I'm still waiting for Motorola's "PowerPC Inside" TV spots.

BTW, I think the base line Performa 6400/180's match up quite well with their clone brethren. At $1600 (including an additional 32mb DIMM), I think they're a steal.

soup (lowercase, TQ) :)
