I have a question which has been bothering me for some time... so here we go.
Why is it that the conversion rate for dollars to pounds appears to be 1 whwn
it comes to buying Macintosh software or even some hardware. Is there a reason
for this or is it as ridiculous as it sounds. Another strange thing I was told
is that US software will not run on UK Macs. Is that Correct? Does anyone know
why this is the case and if its possible to modify the US version to make
it usable in the UK. You can e-mail any replies.
