It's not the exchange rate. It's a case of Apple screwing Australia over:
The article wrote:In the US, tracks sell for between $0.89 and $0.99 on Amazon MP3. All tracks are $0.99 on iTunes USA. Abroad though, I'll use iTunes Australia as an example, tracks sell for AUD$1.69 - which is extortionate really. At the prevailing rate, US$0.99 is equivalent to AUD$1.13.

I'd be interested to see how much they cost in other countries. I'd hazard a guess to say all international iTunes will be quite a bit more expensive than America.

I have heard some bad things about this program. True or not I prefer to just use notepad and save to the desktop till I use it. I figure why use CPU space and memory for some program I already have notepad.

This is for servers. This is not a desktop operating system.

On the other hand, the successor to Vista, codenamed Windows 7, has a tentative release date of 2009.

On one of my trips to Asia in early 2007 I discovered Thai pop sensation, Tata Young. Perhaps it should be the Rupert Murdoch owned TV station, Star World, that she should be grateful to, for without their promo featuring her song "Come Rain Come Shine", I would be none the wiser as to he...
