AUD$790 is about  ISK 91.000.- which is my local currency.  That's about as much as the Adobe Creative Suite cost a few years back (I don't want to know much it costs now).  I live on an island north of pretty much everything and if it wasn't for the internet I wouldn't even be able to buy Poser....

Well, then you know what cold means... here in Brisbane, the nights dip into the chilly teens (Celcius) but during the day, we're up in the 20s. Cold is relative.

On the other hand, from a buying-software standpoint, we're in a similar place. Mind you, I just bought PS Creative Suite 3 for AUD $84, and that was from an Aussie vendor! I'm sure better deals can be had from the States, but - for instance - Amazon refuses to ship Elements 8 to my default shipping address. So, no point in buying from them.

ETA: for interesting, you can't beat Australia. Sat down to the news last night to find that we have a new Prime Minister: Julia Gillard! Beaming on all four cheeks, I was. Awesome woman, Julia! She's got a real challenge ahead: I wish her well.

Yeah I know cold all right.  Over the summer time the temperature goes well below the tens during the nights but we do get good days with temperatures going up to the 20s.  Winters are just flat out cold.

As for interesting, a stand-up comedian was recently voted mayor of our capital Reykjavik.  His whole campaign was pretty much a joke but his party won the city by a landslide.   We also have a woman for prime minister but she's not doing that well.  Congratulations on your new minister. I'm sure she'll do great things.
