Now lets see the price drops for astronomy and PC gear

Ive heard predictions the AUD will go even higher in time
Let's hope the price of Apple Mac's, etc. goes down too. I mean, the $US base price for an iMac is $1199, in $A1999! Not 10:9 in ratio, but nearly darn exactly 10:6 (10.7 with 10% GST)!! Worse, the iMac is made in Asia, being closer to Australia than the US !!

Parity here we come!!
