World's worst discount for Apple iLife?
On a trip this week to the Emerald Isle, I was obliged to visit the PC World in Limerick, to help a friend buy a wireless access point. I generally avoid the big box retailer unless absolutely necessary, the prices are simply too out of whack with reality. Sometimes though you are far from home, you need a quick solution, and you have no other choice but to delve into the local (& painfully overpriced) computer store.
But even I wasn't prepared for the sight that was to await me in the Apple section. There among the copies of Mac OS X Tiger, The Sims, and Garage Band, was arugably the world's stingiest discount for a piece of Apple software.
The shop, clearly wishing to shift some older stock having recently introduced iLife 2006 to the shelves, came up with the astounding discount of..... 2 cents!
P.S. Don't ask me why they are using a pounds sterling sticker.
If you've enjoyed this post you can receive future musings, as I write them, via email. I post about once a week on average. More techy folk might prefer to subscribe to my RSS feed and I'd be delighted if you do. I'm rather more active on Twitter, have a few pictures up on Flickr, and I tend to keep track of people on LinkedIn and increasingly-less-so Facebook. My day job is running WorldTV.com - a site for doing cool things with online video. Merci.
