cimoreneThe online Apple store is having a sale on Nov. 23 that includes free postage inside the US and territories and, possibly, some kind of discounts? But to avoid people who don't want to pay like over 50 bucks in taxes on their mp3 players, you can't pay for things with credit cards issued to international billing addresses either, let alone have them shipped to you (you couldn't order one as a present for someone who lived there either, in that case: which is something my parents have done for me at European shops and I have done for my cousins and godson at North American shops before, so I guess it's just a good thing none of us are rich enough to be buying iPods for other people?).
The problem is that Omena, our beloved shiny green nano, was lost from Wax's bag sometime in the last couple of weeks. RIP, Omena. The shuffle, Samson, is still with us, but Wax is too irritated with herself to take it to work in Omena's place even though I don't actually need it for anything more strenuous than dog-walking in her absence.
The sale doesn't seem to extend to Finland, though, and again, the difference between 79 USD (aka 72€) and 89€ (aka 132 USD) is pretty big. Ugh.
