The voltage problem is a minor one. A separate transformer
will do. It may not be strictly legal, but there you go.
A bigger problem is import duty. If he is only staying
for a while, he can sign something to say he'll take
it out of the country (he may have to pay a refundable bond).
Definitely check it out. If you have to pay duty, the saving
may not be worth the risk of a new Mac without warranty.
Software on the other hand he should bring. I think duty
hasn't been applicable since last Christmas. Upgrades
may be a hassle though.
Hope this helps
Rees
