Europeans: I’m not gonna pay a lot for this mini.

Engadget brings us the news that European Apple customers are
peeved about higher pricing on the Mac mini overseas.
Others contend this has more to do with VAT tax shenanigans than it has to do with Apple, which would lead us to blame our trade-paranoid government instead of the Jobs juggernaut.

Of course, all of this may be entirely moot, because still other European customers are being
told they should plan on waiting until Easter before they have a snowball's chance in hell of scoring a Mac mini, anyway. Any European readers care to sound off on this?

(Thanks Pedro Pestana for the latter tip!)
