Mighty Mouse has issues. I’m only getting one because there’s no way to opt out of it.

I generally understand your weird cryptic messages but this one flew right over my head. Care to explain (via email perhaps)?

This is unbelievable. We’ve always assumed that Macs are more expensive in India than they are in the United States. But that’s not the case at all.
Except for the MacBook Air, all Macs retail in India at the same prices they do in the United States. Even the MacBook Air is only costs about Rs. 7,000 - Rs. 8,000 more out here than it does in the States. I realised this when I had a MacBook (the second configuration) bought for my sister from U.S.A.. It cost her Rs. 61,000, which is what it would have cost her in India too. There’s not even a difference of Rs. 1,000. And that seems to be the case across the entire lineup.
This is a shocking revelation for me. Did you guys know this?

^^ I dont think that is correct aayush... Check out Mac Mini - basic version costs 599 USD or less than 26k in the US... Here, it costs 28.7k+Taxes... At the store, I got quotation 32k... Thats 6k difference... The same thing will happen with each Mac model - a rough 2k increase in price + extra increase due to taxes, etc... Also, I think your sister is charging you for transportation 
because as per website, the mid-config of Macbook comes to 1300 USD or less than 56k... Just kidding, find out what extra they are charging cause there is free shipping and I think there are no taxes for online purchases across states...

They have to pay taxes out there too that we don’t include. They have around 8% VAT, though it varies from state to state.
After adding the tax, (you can do so on Apple’s website itself by entering the pin code number) the cost becomes Rs. 61,000 for the MacBook. I’ve tried this for the iMac as well and there’s only a Rs. 3,000 difference on the highest end model (costs around Rs. 85,000), and even that would vary with the exchange rates.
I’ve been advising people to buy Macs from the U.S.A. myself but I’ve now realised that I was wrong. There’s no sense in buying a Mac from the U.S.A., unless you are getting the educational discount or some other U.S. specific benefits.

What are you? Some sort of enthusiasm killer? Anyways, I have been fiddling with it for quite some time & absolutely love it. There are a couple of things I would like these guys to implement in the Windows version too.
PowerPoint is friggin amazing, I love the interface.

What makes you draw that picture of mine ?? I just gave my opnion, I didn't say MS Office sucks, I said it looks terrible on MacBook screen just like Aperture looks like its been designed to 19inch monitors. MS Office is the best office suite ever, nothing comes closer to it. But it doesn't look good on Mac, thats my opinion and you are free to differ...

Photoshop CS4 is not out yet for any system, not even in BETA. Must be some virus you found somewhere...Hey guys,is Adobe Photoshop CS4 out on Mac?I saw it on a warez site
The main thing I found disappointing with Office2008 is its speed. Very little improvement over the previous one even though this is a universal app.
Anyway, I can't talk much about anything else, being that I almost always use iWork for my document needs...
If that comment has something to do with range, then I get pretty good range (except for at my place, where I do have wifi so that's cool). Full 11 bars when I'm in the towns or on road...I.e. pretty much nowhere.
