If i need anything Mac, however, i usually have to ask around and then wait a long, long, long, long time, until i can next afford to jump on a plane to Sydney, and then keep praying i can find it.*laughs*
Yes, I suppose parts for PCs are easy to find anywhere - actual complete Macs seem pretty common here though, maybe more so than for you. Though laptops, PC or Mac, seem near-impossible to find, unless broken or extremely old. Mac parts are harder to find though, eg I couldn't find a Mac graphics card anywhere an ended up having to stump up £20 ( 
) for a 32 meg Radeon Mac Edition on eBay, whereas I'm sure I would have been able to get a PC card from Freecycle had I needed one. And I've asked several times on Freecycle for a USB Apple mouse in the hope of scoring that gorgeous Pro Mouse for my G3 to replace the rather-crummy ADB II with a nice optical mouse, but have been offered nothing, not even a hockey puck one.
