I know this might be kinda obvious.....but why are you waiting?

Why don't you ring up MacConnection in the states and order one like i 
did?  24hrs a day 7 days a week.  I now have a lovely zip drive and won't 
get gouged by the oz MacWarehouse. No probs with customs except for a $11 
inspection fee or somesuch.

I don't bother buying software in oz, you get badly ripped off. I mean 
$1900 for Xpress :) geez. I bought KPT from the states and it cost $A150, 
how much does it cost is oz? $300?!!

Thank bob for MacConnection and Cyberian Outpost, otherwise i'd be months 
behind the rest of the world in getting software and seriously out of pocket.
