Current currency exchange/prices

[Stephen Foster]

I called AppleCanada to find out when, if ever, they intended to 
apply the current more favourable exchange rates to their prices (I 
want to buy a new iMac). First, I was told no one in the company 
could answer the question. Second, the rep said he'd take down the 
concern and pass it on, but he wouldn't take down the specific 
examples (e.g iMac SuperDrive currently listed for $2799C, $1799US 
[which at current rates is $between $2338--2436C, a difference of 
$471-363C]. He did offer to knock $75 off if I ordered right away. 
When I said that wasn't good enough he couldn't terminate the call 
fast enough.
We have several Macs and I've never minded paying more than for that 
other platform because Macs are just better, but paying them an extra 
bonus because they won't use current exchange rates is just a 
rip-off. Prices were quick to reflect changes when the rates went the 
other way. We're buying two new desktops over the next two months and 
if prices don't start to reflect current values the Apple may see the 
switch go the other way.
