> As I see it I have a few options:
>
> 1. Apple Store

> 2. Dick Smith - I can buy at Trade Price and save about $80
>
> 3. Harvey Normans - I've been told that if you approach them in the right
> way they will often cut a deal
>
> 4. MagnumMac - bit of an unknown quantity here, they certainly don't appear
> to be anything like the company the used to be and I've heard the odd horror
> story aout dealing with them
>
> 5. ToshComputers - Pricing looks very good but I'm always nervous about
> dealing with someone I can't go in and talk to. Feedback on website is good
> (but then who posts the bad stuff!) but am unable to find any of the
> feedback that they refer to on either Trademe or ebay australia
>
> 6. Someone else... is there anyone else?
>
> I am by no means wanting to start a war or a 'slagging match' here but
> would welcome any genuine experiences in dealing with any of these companies
> as to me this is a very major purchase.
